Do I NEVER shut it off…?

Gryphon says in the instruction manual to leave the amp on. (Diablo 300) 

It sounds amazing and never shuts down, but gets almost too hot to touch on certain parts of the side heat syncs. 
Really…? Leave it on all the time…?

What do you guys think…?

Thank you…!

Accepted science doesn't mean it's true. Their are many scientists that disagree with the accepted science.

That is NOT science. NOT the scientific method. ALL science must be subject to skepticism, and observed data. Just because a narrative fits a political agenda does not make it science and immune to review.


Well said. The so called scientists on this subject are not looking at anything but man made climate change.

It's a tube preamp, doesn't run hot you can touch the tubes. I've had the same tubes in it for over 3 years.

The only piece of audio equipment that ever came close to starting a fire was a carver receiver I had in the late 1980's, it shot a big flame out the top cover, so I suppose if I would have put a magazine on top of it there might have been a fire.

regulated power supply, an amp can be turned off. 

I think you mean a soft start circuit, not a regulated power supply two very different circuits that do two very different things.
