Really sounds its best. Is it me, or does anyone else think it takes that long? It seem to get more relaxed, a little smoother and opens up a bit more.

It's not at all uncommon for SS components to need a good 24 hrs to fully warm up and sound their best. My EAR324P phono stage is the same way.

I would follow Cyril's recommendation to leave it on 24/7. That's what I would do if I owned one...

Joe...if it were a power amp with a tubed output stage where the tubes could arc and potentially cause a problem, I would be in complete agreement, not to mention you would eat through tubes like crazy. But with SS, there is a miniscule risk of the amp combusting and causing a fire. Just my 2c. If you are not comfortable however with leaving it on, I can understand that. You just have to live with the rather longish warm up period.

Joe,

I leave my ARC SS amp and DAC on most it the time. Only when I travel or if I know listening will not be done for a few days, I will shut them off.

My ears may not be as evolved...My Pr350 sounds pretty darn good right after turning on...I don't notice a lot of difference in warm up, unlike my VAC tube amp which does require a good hour or so to hit its stride.

Cyril, Mike, Darrin,

Thanks!

My 350 sounds really good after and hour or two but spectacular after a day of cooking. I normally leave SS gear on all the time, but for some reason I don't feel comfortable doing so in this case. I think subconsciously I am just a little nervous something will take out my CR-1's and that would kill me to have them zapped. It could happen whether I am home or not, but feel somehow more in control if I am home. I guess I am just worried about my TADs, probably for no reason.
