Hi all, just looking for a straw pole on how people use their equipment.
I have a BC9300 with two Penta 3s connected. (Who doesn’t love a good Penta!) Who leaves the BC and Pentas plugged into the power and in standby mode while not in use?
I normally unplug it all but have been thinking of only unplugging the Pentas to give the amp power supplies a rest?
As an aside and which may be of interest I have an apple AirPort Express plugged into the Aux socket and stream tunes from my phone. That nearly brings things up to date and lets me choose from a world of music and give those Pentas a workout.
cheersNick
Hi Nick, I cannot salute your match-up enough. Penta 3 love the BC 9300 and I like the sound of your streamer connection with Apple Express too!
Regarding the stand-by opton it’s something B&O designed into their products from this era, so it should be the best way. But I too go for periods where I shut down everything for a few days (Penta 2 and BS6500), often midweek, to allow components to cool off. Whether it’s right or not I don’t know, but it feels like I’m giving the boards and caps a break.
I’ve no idea whether it’s effective or not though.Cue the next responder….
