"it takes electricity to heat the thing up, and you can't hear hear so it ain't contributing to the sound. "
Nonsense, complete nonsense.
Compare a 2A3 single ended class A amp running 120 mA @ 250V consuming 30 Watts for two stages to a parallel push pull 6550 class AB amp running eight hundred mA @ 450v burning 360W. Now, tell me which one is "heating things up" and what exactly is not "contributing to the sound" with the single ended amp that can ONLY run in class A.
