"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".
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)
