Leave it on?

@grannyring ”conveniences come with risks”

I note your points, thank you. No offence intended.

@gano The Hots

l just came back from Lanzarote and it was hotter in England. Most Americans think of England being rain and green fields. Parts of the UK are officially becoming drought areas.

People are flying out to Continental Europe seeking the heat and Sun. The mind boggles. It’s turning into an upside down World

I use SS gear and I leave it on 24/7, because I listen daily. Simply sounds better to me after a long burn in (no pun intended). Never had a failure in 60 years for leaving ss gear on. In fact, I keep an FM station playing 24/7, through the system, except when I listen to something else. Enjoy! MrD.

@mylogic yes, places famously and traditionally not hot or warm like the UK are unprepared. Barely surviving these heat waves is the new norm in Europe

@gano, you are smart enough to realize a hot season, cold snap, or short term trend  is no way to draw long term conclusions…..unless one has an agenda. Brutal cold also kills today. Yes conditions have come together in Europe and that is real and unfortunate.   I am not saying it’s not real or a concern for folks dealing with it.  Don’t think leaving your amp or dac on helps cause either situation.
