Pass Labs XA 30.8 Standby power draw?

I know that purchasing a Class A amplifier and being concerned with standby power draw is a bit of an environmental friendly contradiction, but does anyone know how much power a Pass Labs XA 30.8 draws when in standby mode?  The only power consumption figure that I can find is 375 watts in operating mode.

Put your hand on the amp when you get up in the morning while it is in standby mode if it is cold you are drawing very little like the 0.3 watts suggested.

Just to close out this thread, Pass Labs confirmed what three-easy-payments measured that  the standby power draw of a XA 30.8 amp is 0.2 to 0.3 watts.
