  since SS devices come up to speed quicker than tubes why not just turn them off as well. Can't use your SS pre until that amp comes up. :-)

  Unless we are talking the tape look out to SS headphone amp, etc.

    The SS preamps have remotely located power supplies which are not easy to get to. And they consume next to nothing.

    Cheers!

      but it is neither here nor there is it? if the tube amp needs an hour to come up or whatever turning off all of it doesn;t hurt as the SS stuff has to wait for that tube amp anyway.

      I know, though, that leaving my ss phono pre on or CDP all the time gets me instant gratification if I want to use heaphones.

      I am an American so if I had more money I would turn it all on and leave it that way in perpetuity.

        Heaters you know! Transistors don't have them.
