Power consumption on stand by
Posted: Tue Apr 23, 2013 8:18 am
I have a tube power amp That I bet consumes a gazillion watts when I use it. Question is when it is on, meaning the tubes are aglow, but there is no input/output signal how much power am I consuming?
In relation to this topic do I prolong/lessen the amp and tube life longer by keeping it on all the time as opposed to just turning it on 30 minutes before I use it. I noticed that I need at least an hour before the sound is awakene and it goes on full bloom after 2-3 hours use. For reference I use atube amp with Kt-88 output tubes
