Leaving a component always on...will ultimately lead to capacitors drying out. Since this fact is always overlooked by manufacturer’s who recommend a component to be always on ( or sitting idle, but connected to power), I thought it would be helpful to bring it to our attention. I know this, having replaced caps in several components that one has no choice to either leave on ( or in sleep mode)...or unplug from the wall. While we may be talking of several years without this issue, the issue will occur...it’s just a matter of time!
Esoteric K-03 / K-01 Leave Power On ?
Good Morning,
The Esoteric K-03 / K-01 have significant warm up time with multiple advanced power supplies and big enclosures. Is it best to leave them powered up with the display off for best performance? Or is some of the core circuitry powered on with just the power cord plugged in and power button off?
Best Regards,
Bill
