Do you leave the Jeff Rowland Amp on all the time

Turn it off. NO excuses. It's lame to leave things on all the time, wake up, get in the 21st century you wasteful laggards! Use the time it takes for your gear to warm up for something useful...charity work, gardening, flossing, put the LPs back in alphabetical order, explaining to your partner that Donald Fagan really does have a good voice, clean your motorcycle, check your butt for deer ticks...

This is the first time I've had much agreement with one of my energy rants...a good sign.

I also think there are too many people so I did my part by having only one kid, and with any luck she won't wind up as a dreary childless old woman sadly ranting about other people's progeny while boasting about wasting electricity on her pets. I can only hope.

It is important to check your butt for deer ticks...Brad Paisley even wrote a song about it (sort of). And I'm not surprised people leave their gear on all the time, I'm surprised anybody admits it.

Again...your car runs better when warmed up...leave it running. You can afford it, and really...who cares? Your oven...warmed up and ready for that pie...even if you don't make pies...ya kever know. Leave it on. If we kept our windows open while running AC on hot days we could maybe cool the world a little, and again...who cares? Your hifi is IMPORTANT...and if YOU don't waste electricity, somebody else will. Climate schlimate! Get away from the coastline...the cheese is better inland anyway. We have a right to the earth's resources because after all, that's why we're here! We can make the world what it once was...a mass of boiling liquid!

Practical real world experience with gear trumps the "it's OK and maybe better for your gear to leave it on" opinion. Turn it off, or at least stop finding lame arguments for needless waste and admit you don't give a damn.

Yeah...mine. 3 hours of warmup sounds like a bad design. My gear sounds fine after a few minutes, better after a while...always has, always will...and then it's off. Waste not want not. Besides, this approach gives me somthing to be self righteous about, and that's priceless.
