No. If Iknow I will be doing some listening that evening or night I will turn them on early afternoon and let a cd play at low volume. I have a pair of DNA-1 Patinum level, mono blocked with the plitron transformers. After about 4 hours I cannot detect any improvement. They are great.
Do you leave your McCormack amps powered on 24/7?
I was told that it would be better to leave the amps powered on 24/7 than powering on/off when using it. On my DNA HT1 dlx, there is a standby mode and the amp doesn't get really warm when left on. My DNA1 dlx doesn't have a standby mode and stays pretty warm, not hot but in the middle. What is the reasoning behind leaving it on all the time? Is it really better to leave it on or is it a waste of electricity? Responses are much appreciated.
