Earth Day, turn those amps OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Earth Day, turn those amps OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've said it before, I'll say it again, it is Environmentally IRRESPONSIBLE to leave your equipment on for long periods of time, before or after, or truly despicable, ON all the time!

On, 20 mins, listen, done, off!

Doctors, Lawyers, Trust Fund Kiddos, come on now.

Where were you in 1970?, I was there in Manhattan (went to college at Pratt in Brooklyn 1966-1970)

The world is rotten to its core and I could care less how much electricity is being spent or heat that is being generated. 

It's attitudes like this that are the problem, not the solution.

I believe 20 min warm-up is enough for happy listening.

I expected some might post FACTUAL info about longer warm up, 

Where is the source that says it's correct to leave it ON ALL THE TIME?

How can you not know that's WRONG.

I always turn my main system off when not listening...  it's all tube so I only fire it up when I have a few hours to kill.  

My second system get used 80% of the time.  It's best feature?   The amp turns off 20 minutes after no signal from the source.  I turn off the source or pause my streamer and it goes to sleep.
