Do you leave the Jeff Rowland Amp on all the time


I purchased this amp recently an am very impressed with the sound, however it takes a long time to warm up. Do any users leave the amp on all the time. I emailed Rowland but did not get an answer. I am also thinking about replacing my BAT VK-32SE with the Rowland Capri preamp.

Marty, what model do you own? As an model 8 owner, I can tell you that this amp was designed to be in 'idle' mode until the front switch is depressed, which takes the amp into full-on mode. The thinking is to have the circuit active at all times in order to minimize warm-up time. Seems to have worked very well. However, i am not sure that the other models in the line work this way.
My goodness. By the time all that other stuff is done, it's on 24/7 anyway!

Hey Geoff.
This is the first time I've had much agreement with one of my energy rants...a good sign.
I leave ALL my stereo equipment on 24/7
Want to 'save the future'? do not have any kids. That alone will save the World from Human rapacity.
That is my plan.
Since I never wanted nor have any rugrats, I can use up my share ten times over, and not feel bad for all you morons with ten kids worrying about their futures. I do not worry about saving the future for YOUR brats..

How's THAT for a response to the 'moral' issue of leaving stuff on?

Yeah, if it pleases the op, leave it on. If it bothers him, then turn it off.
The main thing is if you play it every day, yeah leave it on. If only on weekends.. then turrn it off.
I play music all day every day.. Even when I worked, I left the system on to play music for my pets all day...
