amps on all the time?

Forums

I have returned to separates for two-channel for the first time in a long time and an old question has come up again. That is, since my pre-amp has no switched outlets (and they probably would not be heavy-duty enough anyway), what is the best way to manage turning the power amp off and on. Just leave it on all the time? I'm not against doing that but it seems to generate a lot of heat even when idling. The pre does have 12-Volt triggers, but there is nothing on the power amp to connect them to.

<I>The New York Times</I> is ending its TimesSelect program, which charged subscribers $50/year for access to "premium" content, meaning most of their regular columnists. We're going to hear a lot of piffle about how the <I>Times</I> only had about 250,000 subscribers because the content was so widely pirated, but I think that's horse-hockey.
