Thanks, but I didn't know anything about it! Don't even know who the reviewer is? Nice surprise though!

Steve

Steve,
is it true - as the author of the review claims - that you recommend the Zen amps to be left on 24/7?

Thanks, Robert

@UncleRobb - having read the same review I asked this on the Kit1 Version forum and it's not true. No specific problem, but valve life will obviously be reduced.

"No specific problem, but valve life will obviously be reduced."

That's what I would have thought also.

I have read that the CSP could be left on 24/7 but not an amp. I like the line,

"The SE84C+ is very revealing meaning if you're a recovering audiophile tweaker this may not be the amp for you, for it will reveal the differences and weaknesses in everything in your system from your source to the cables."

I cannot imagine a tweaker being able to resist that challenge, dangling out there like a lure.

Do you actually suggest leaving the Zen amplifiers on all the time, as the reviewer suggests they should?
