I don't know what u mean?

Do you need amps aswell?

I asked on Muffs like mentioned, and got replies from some engineers who are qualified. I was told that modern well designed equipment will be stressed less by leaving on for an extra hour than going through a power cycle in the time. So, whilst I ensure that if it's turned off if I'm not using it,...

I asked my teacher and he did say that turning electronic devices on and off constantly does lessen their life span. He didn't have a link to prove it though, so it could be just his personal opinion and not a scientific fact. He did have a few examples of things he's witnessed that speak for it, b...

Overheating breaks components too of course, so leaving your gear on all the time is not smart either. Still, I wouldn't turn off my gear for a short break. For the night yes, but not for a cigarette break. Yes that is true, but beyond the power supply most components don't heat up very much. Some ...

Not only does this keep me learning within the creative process, but it throws just enough confusion at me to keep me on my toes. I might steal your idea though, and try to concentrate on whatever I had trouble...

Meanwhile, if you want to experiment: Get two units of the same gear. Keep the other piece of gear on for x hours, while you turn on and off the power with the other for x hours. See which breaks first. Hahaha, wait are you serious?? Thats quite a lot of effort to go to to break equipment! It could...

Really?? Where did you hear this?
