AudioQuest 7000

Mike,
I asked the question because the little blue status led bulb burned out. It was a royal PITA to change it.
Curious why I should leave it powered on all the time?

The blue light burned out? My THREE units have been on since the day they were released. We only turned them off for the last hurricane.
 
Mike,
Well, the blue light was not exactly burned out, it just lost its blue color and became a dimly lit white light.
What is wrong with turning the Niagara 7000 off when not in use? Say overnight?

No harm at all. I just don’t myself.
 
Thanks, yeah, I did too. But when the blue lamp diminished, and I replaced it, it made me start wondering if I should turn the unit off when not in use.
However, it does seem that the on/off switch is quite dramatic, sort of like it was not meant to be switched on and off often.

Just received this reply from AudioQuest:
"The Niagara 7000 is designed to be left on continuously, no need to turn the unit off."

So, I guess that solves that. Probably should be stated somewhere in the manual or the website.

Just saying....

I cleaned my IEC contacts and fuse sockets recently on a MF KW-750 Dual Mono Amplifier Power unit and the LED lit up like I had never seen it before (previously used unit). So much so, that now I'd like to block the light it emanates.

Again, just saying....
