i have an all in one streamer/integrated amp from naim that i leave on 24/7, and recently tested out a NAD c 3050 LE- noticed this amp turns off after 15 mins or so of being left on standby w no music playing, which i thought was a little weird. do you leave your integrated amp on or off? thanks

    My Bluesond is always on because it’s kind of annoying to turn on/off and our whole video setup that my wife uses often is running through it as well.

    Vintage tube preamp is always on, because it does take a while to warm up and doesn’t seem to use that much electricity.

    Class A solid-state power amp gets turned off when not in use because it runs hot and pulls a ton of electricity. It takes a little while to warm up too, but it’s not worth the current draw to leave it on all day.
