Leaving amplifier on all day
My subwoofer amplifier has a really high inrush current at turn-on (about 8 to 10 amps), so high that it triggers my computer's UPS protection circuitry, but I guess no serious harm will be done to the actual computer itself. I also have an AC voltage monitor and sometimes the voltage dips close to 102v when I turn on the amp, but restores to at least 112v. I live in a college house, refurbished but some of the wiring is still really old, so before my landlord does something about it can I leave my amp on all day without too much concern? I haven't had it on for a long time because the AC line voltage got a lot worse when one of my roommates bought a huge fishtank while the other one bought a heating lamp for his lizards. I miss the subsonics though... :(
