We went to much trouble to ensure the PSU1 power supply was certified safe (IEC CB certificate NL8023). Our workshop has quite some value: for example if we lost it we could lose the business. We leave the PSU1's (and the "greens" which also have certificates) on all the time except if I'm on holiday (that'll be the day...) Provided they're properly ventilated - not buried under clothes or magazines, and stood on something like a laminate floor or a solid table mat if you have carpet, then they should be safe. Disclaimer: nothing can be declared to be absolutely safe forever. Let common sense always prevail. |

Sound advice as always and that is a great strapline, Graham!

I must say that I'm also the kind of person who switches off all electronic items when I'm not going to use them for a few hours. I could leave an ULDE plugged into a power source for all/most of the time but I would not be able to keep a Bitzie powered up permanently, not without a 5V DC power adaptor with a USB cable.
Although, I do have one of those... I use it to charge my Kodak camera. I assume that it emulates a USB connection almost absolutely. I wouldn't want to risk wrecking a Bitzie with it though... |

Interesting point. I keep my Genera, Reflex, ULDE and Marantz preamp constantly powered. I wonder if there would be a perceptible difference if it were continuously powered?

Just gone through 100 hours of burning in my new Senn HD650 drivers...and the ever changing sound is pretty much the absolute proof that burn in is real. Some days it's boomy and bass ridden, others the highs are too high...from muddied to brightness..from speed to snails pace. Changes now settling down to a stable balanced sound today. Probably needs a few more days and I'm there!
I have always kept every single unit in my rigs powered up. Switching off means another 8 hours or so of use to go back to where they were. It's easy to notice. And notes. I'm not imagining it. Dil |

I have the solo ULDE loaner for the next few days, will I hear the best of it during this period?
