Leave solid state amps on? Or turn off everytime?

Its only wasteful if you cant afford it, if you can stand the heat then leave em on but know your gonna pay for it monthly.

>>Pass Labs even states in their manuals..............<<

Please cite the manuals to which you specifically refer.

Thanks in advance.

FWIW my Pass Labs x2.5 pre-amp does not have a power switch. The only way to turn it off is to unplug it.

That's the kind of greedy, selfish attitude that caused the present
mortgage/housing crisis, and will be the cause of further problems in the
area of energy cost and availability.

Folks, consider a larger viewpoint beyond yourselves.

Considering it uses only 35 watts, it's not a power hog, nor is it comparable with
leaving a Class A power amp powered up 24/7. By comparison, Pass Lab's
smallest Class A power amp, the XA-30.5, uses 225 watts power...nearly 10
times as much as the 2.5 preamp.

Give me a break Grant and spare me the lecture, I have always liked you and respect you but to equate a desire to leave an amp on for best sound with the mortgage meltdown fuled by irresponsible purchasers and lenders and a lack of proper requlation is way off base and I know for a fact you are smarter than that so please dont pretend not to be.
