This entire thread in one sentence:
Even when I talked about AVRs, and said “no one ever shuts their AVR off”… Personally, everything in this room is plugged into an UPS. When everyone is leaving the house, I power off the UPS. So yes, even my AVR is powered off. I repeat:
And being careful means, turn it off when you’re not using it.
Putting the on-off switch on the back of all their units is really stupid, IMO. Actually, that’s probably the main reason why all these problems happened. People just forgot to turn their stuff off, because you can’t even tell if it’s on or off. Or people not caring. Because, why turn anything off anyway? And suddenly, overheating problems, smoke, fire, etc.
At least the new Heresy got a light to show it’s powered on…
