@audiodwebe Yep I turn my Aleph 1.2's off nightly after listening – the heat but also the electrical bill.

@au_lait “…. the heat but also the electrical bill”. As @vair68robert said previously in the earlier days of this discussion….. A single amplifier at the national average KWh rate, consuming just 85w powered on amounts to $166 a year. Your Alephs draw 500w each. Good job you turn them off.

The only physical changes were adding a thermal magnetic switch in the wall to the hot wire feeding each amp, and then removing the (pretty good - recent SR color) fuse installed by SMc Audio and replacing it with a1/4-inch, 99.9 percent copper rod that was burnished smooth. To your question, no, I do not hear any appreciable differences that I would reliably attribute to changing out the fuse for a thermal magnetic switch. I am not surprised. However, I do get to turn my amps off without unplugging them or turning off the breaker at the main electrical panel so I am happy with the win. |
@mitch2 , I score it a win if it didn't degrade the sound, plus it was a cool things to do! |
