Do you always keep the Amplifier powered on


I have Simaudio Integrated Amplifier and it's designed to
be always powered on. Is that O.K in your opinion.

"Electricity in my area costs about $0.006 per kWh."

Where do you live?? National average is $0.18/kwh!! Mine is $0.25!
I have an old Sumo Nine, Pure Class A unit, that has never been turned off... except. I took it out of the system for about 4 months while I used Abletec Mono amps (Class D)... My Electric bill went down about $20 a month!... Now they are both in and I'm bi amping. I don't turn them off. Either amp, even though fully burned in takes a lot of hours before it settles in completely.
Kijanki, are you using solar battery or individual windplant?
My bill is averaging $.11/kwh
Dweller, you may continue to trust your dealer, but the fact is quite different in reality.
Even if only 1,000 members of this forum leaves their equipment powered on unnescessarily then total 40,000W (1000x40w) of energy will be wasted everyday. Even small individual contribution (however small) makeas a great difference.
Every drop makes a difference!
My bad - I was looking only at the cost of electricity.
From my electric bill:

375 KWH TOTAL@$0.0661/KWH GENERA 375 kWh X 0.06610 $24.79

but it comes to $49 with delivery charges, fees and taxes.
I made mistake, but it was a small one - 100% :)

Still, even $20 a year I can afford.
