Know this is old, but with my boom it uses 4 watts when off and 6 watts on with nothing playing. I have echo connected, just leave the boom on 24/7 but set the idle display to off so it doesn't burn out the vfd. Every once in a while I'll have to restart it for some reason. Also sometimes the line in becomes inactive (not sure why) on it's own, but just hitting volume up or down seems to bring it back to life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ uranus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66444 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108535 _______________________________________________ Boom mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/boom
