Hey guys

Fresh fish here, first post. I know nowt about audio stuff, but do
appreciate nice equipment. I unpacked my seperates yesterday and put
them in the stand; got such a sense of satisfaction and it feels great
to have my music again. Sad I am sure but tuning in my tuner felt
great, such a lovely smooth and perfectly weighted action.

Enough dribble...I've got a Pioneer A-717 amp and was told yesterday by
a mate who came over to look at my setup that I should leave the amp
turned on all the time. Is this right; he reckons he knows his stuff
but as I certainly do not I cannot be sure.

What do you lot reckon?

Thanks in advance for any help

Karl

I vote against this, particularly if the amp generates much heat. At the
least the electrolytic capacitors, especially the smaller ones, will dry out
much sooner.

Those who claim audible benefits have never proven this in double blind
testing.

In my opinion - a bad idea.
