Are there any definitive studies or reliable information regarding the affect of playing habits on receiver longevity? For example, are they most likely to last longer if they are consistently run hard or played softly? What about leaving them on for extended periods of time as opposed to shutting them down for an hour or two and starting them up again? How do these things affect longtevity?
Wiley - You should know heat is the enemy of electronic components and light bulbs usually burn out when you turn them on not while you're reading the newspaper.
According to Jan, if you want maximum life out of your receiver, I guess you leave it off or perhaps leave it on at the lowest possible setting. Thanks for your typically useless response. How about some others who have more than an analogy or anecdote to share?
Yeah, it's an answer. Just like me asking what time it is and you answering with information as to how to build a watch. Name calling? Best you can do, I guess.
I use a couple of PC power supply fans on mine when I listen to music, it doesn't get hot enough to worry about it when watching TV, but it gets cooking when listening to music. With the fans it stays nice and cool, so I don't worry about having it on for a long time. I used my last one without any cooling for hours at a time for 7 years without any problems. It still works, I just decided it was time to upgrade. It never got as hot as the new one does though. My 14 year old Technics has a cooling fan built in, so I never worried about leaving it on either, it still works too.
Wiley - I can do much better than call you names. I can provide an answer that is correct. You, on the other hand, seem unable to comprehend a basic concept. You also seem either unwilling or unable to find where this question - and the same answer - have been posted on this forum dozens of times before you got around to it.
With those three simple facts I have no need to call you anything. What you are is plain to see.
BTW, have you checked for receivers without phono pre amps yet? Do you understand why checking the anti skating when the tonearm slides across the record is as stupid as the question you posed here? You don't know much, Wiley, and you get p.o.'d when someone else does.
If you are so much smarter and better than everyone else here, why do you stick around?
Being the all knowing all wise person that you think you are, why would you waste your time and energy on a bunch of idiots like us? Shouldn't we all be beneath your impeccible standards of excellence and wisdom?
Einstien would try to explain nuclear physics to Lloyd Christmas (Dumb & Dumber), so why should you try to explain home audio to the pathetic losers that make up e-coustics?
Here's an even better one - Why ask a question to a bunch of idiots? Especially when you're just going to argue with anyone who gives you an answer and then insult and belittle them?
I have not the slightest idea what your last post was meant to imply. It seems you will resort to the most ignorant of "snappy" replies when wit escapes you or, more likely, doesn't even pass by on your street.
Wiley, as has been suggested, you consider yourself to be superior in so many ways to those who politely and intelligently posted here. Need I remind you; it was you who asked the question and we were the ones who knew the answer.
You, Wiley, are the human equivalent of cockroach dung.
Yeah, just like "everyone" in 1940 Germany saw the Jews as inferior and in early America viewed African Americans as property. Thanks, but no thanks. Going against the grain-now that's where it's at. Too bad your "everyone" hasn't figured that out. Like sheep to the slaughter...

Wiley,
You really suck! Come to think of it, that could be one of your greatest assets, if you know what I mean.
