I think my LM1875T based amp sounds better after warm up for an hour or so.
- Anyone else have such an experience?
- Is it OK to leave these chips powered on continuously so it's ready to go when I have time for listening?
Perhaps change the power switch to just kill the tube input buffers (filament and B+), leave the +/- supply to the '1875 on continuously?
Has anyone ever used a resistive heating element to maintain thermal equilibrium when their amp is "off"? (Elaborate power switch that cuts filament and B+ to tubes, switches +/- power from '1875 amps to resistor in "off" position) I have a 4PST switch I've been saving for something for years...
Thanks,
