    Probably not, and you'll save quite a bit of electricity if you don't. Use the trigger input to have it switch on and off automatically with your pre-amp (or other equipment).

      Agreed. I use my pre-amp to turn on my amps. Works quite nicely.
      Before I had triggers, I turned my system off when not using it.



      Hope this helps.

        Hi :-)

        Some of us believe that in our systems the RB-1080 sounded better when 'warmed up' so we left ours on all the time... Can be worth a test or two... Play some really well known msic when turned on from cool and then much later when its been on for an hour... if you think it sounds better - leave it on... There is no harm leaving it on - just a small power draw - from memory about 30-50W depending on the amplifiers bias setting..
