This seems like a highly respected amp for DIY subs. I notice it doesn't have a 12v switch. Can I leave it on all the time? Will it have a considerable amount of draw when it's not receiving a signal? I'm a big fan of not standing up to turn on/off equipment, so leaving this on would be an attractive feature. Unless it make my electricity bill much more unattractive...

I hooked up my ep 2500 and left the switch on, "ON" position and then I hooked up the receiver to turn my power bar on and off and then that turns the amp on and off.

I got it used on ebay for $50 the guy seems to sell a bunch and the bar itself can be used for surge protection and line cleaner etc etc

My EP-2500 and BFD have been on and running for months without a problem.

I leave my Acurus 200x3 and EP1500 running 24/7. No ill effects at all. If anything it will reduce the stress on internal components, as they wont have to constantly go from cold to hot when being power cycled.
