Doh, left system off all night


Today I've been really unhappy with the sound of my system. Bass is too bloated and treble is scratchy. I was racking my head trying to figure out what I changed.

Took me an hour to remember I left the system off for about 24 hours. Doh!

I have a Class A amplifier that draws on about 400 watts (Pass Labs). No doubt it sounds way better warmed up after an hour or two. That said, I turn it off before heading to bed and back on in the morning before heading out for work. It has a chance to warm up all day before I get home which is plenty. So the amp gets about 8 hours of downtime every day.

I sleep better knowing I’m being kinder to my electric bill and the environment. Con Edison in NYC charges 27 cents per kwh which is the highest electricity rate in the nation if I’m not mistaken. 400 watts...do that math! Yikes.
