FWIW, I have always left my solid state amps turned on, and just recently had to do the first repair EVER on an amp I have owned for nearly 10 years. I currently have a Bryston 4B-ST, and I leave it on except when I away for extended periods, or when there is an electrical storm in the area.
OFF, Standby, or ON for amplifiers
I know that it is best to keep most digital gear "ON" all the time but how about amplifiers. I have been under the impression that if you never power down there is less stress on the equipment and promotes longer life. Is this true or am I way off? Thanks in advance...John
