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

This is as serious a subject as it can be. 
 

@inna Yes it is. People’s responses here are quite revelatory about their selfs. Given the enormity of the world’s problems against just wanting to get through your day and grappling with it all leads to the want of comfort. Like listening to music. 

I often will listen during warm up. When the bloom comes. Ahhhhh.  
 

"Should you leave the Raven and Blackbird on 24/7, or when you leave the house? Please do not do this. The tubes have a long life, in excess of 2000 hours, and probably twice that, but there's really no point in using up that life when you're not listening to them. Unlike solid-state electronics, the Raven and Blackbird thermally stabilize fairly quickly, within 20 minutes or less, and the vacuum tubes reach internal operating temperature in less than a minute. You'll find they are enjoyable almost immediately ... your speakers or phono cartridge might take longer to "warm up" than the Raven or Blackbird".

I must of been sleeping and just woke up....
