Thank you for answering, I will try to leave them on when needed and check the electricity after 3 months, this could be an argument too...
The everyday use of a tube amp
Hello everybody,
I know this seems to be a stupid question but hey! still have to learn... I am working at home, listening to music all day long. Until now, things were like that :
Day use, SS integrated, tunrned on the morning with the radio or music server, turned off in the evening. Muted when I need to stop the music or during the meals.
In the evening, tube amp and Turntable for 2-3 hours, serious listening or during Fly tying sessions up to late night.
I will build a new system, all tube (Dodd pre and 50Wmonoblocks), so my question is:
Excepted for the tubes that I will have to change often, is there limitations leaving the system turned on 18 hours a day? I think that it is better to leave it and to mute when I need, even for an hour or so, than to turn it on-off and so several times during the day. Thank you for the help!
