Should Class A Amps be left on??


Ok- Audiogon members need some advice here. Should Solid State Class A Amps be powered all the time? Have heard two school of thoughts on this. Apparently from what I have heard this is a moot question for Class A/B amps due to the usual low biasing of A/B Amps. From what I have been to learn so far Class A Amps should be left continously on.

If your Class A amp doesn’t have a standby mode, turn it off over night. If it doesn’t sound good enough 30-60 minutes after powering on, or into Class A, get another amp.
