It's never really powered off, only idle. All components remain powered at all times. Well I suppose the audio circuitry isn't passing current because it's not playing back, but the situation is the same in a CD player that's on but not playing anything. > Is there any reason why I shouldn't apart from electricity wastage?

However great attempts have been made to isolate it as much as possible - it has its own power supply physically separate from the rest of the circuitry. I have not read a single comment about the VFD affecting the sound in any perceptible way. You can try tests if you like, simply turn the display to brightness 0 (i.e. off). Turning the brighntess up from low to medium to bright ought to have little effect, the largest effect would be between dark and bright - and again no one's reported any sonic differences. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30456 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
