I don’t have Buckeye amps but I do have several NC252MPs, my room currently is 75 degF ambient and the amps run at 90-95 degF, so definitely warm but not hot.

Thanks Michael. So do you just leave yours on most of the time?I don’t have Buckeye amps but I do have several NC252MPs, my room currently is 75 degF ambient and the amps run at 90-95 degF, so definitely warm but not hot.

No, they are all signal driven triggers so they shut off automatically. 4 of them are used with an Okto DAC8 pro which has a trigger and will go in to standby after 10 minutes of no signal. For the other one I use a Bobwire DAT1 to generate a trigger signal which will shutoff after 45 seconds of no signal. I’m not super worried about the heat but I figure it is better if they shut off when not in use.

These work well for me. I would shy away from adapters.

So when using these amps WITHOUT a trigger, is it ok to just leave it on all the time? The reason I’m asking is because I left it on all day and when I got home from work it was pretty warm to the touch. Not hot just warm.
So, apparently 6ft power cords (14awg/15A rated) are in high demand/low supply. My usual places to order are back ordered for a few months.
Straw poll: is 3ft enough for most setups or just a tad too short?
Yeah funny thatFunny how my cheap TVs seem to last 10-20 years on standby/full power.
I believe that ship has sailed.I see an opening for someone to offer $10,000 audiophile 6' power cables.

It will turn on with the power strip. This is how I "controlled" my first DIY Build last year was using a 12v controlled power strip that turned my amp on and off via mains power.I would actually prefer a 3 footer, but either way it doesn't matter. I think I have a spendy audiophool one around here I'll likely use with it. Quick question- The Minidsp SHD I'll be using with it does not have a 12v trigger. I have all my audio gear plugged into a Fuhrman power strip. This is okay, right? I planned on testing it for turn on thump and other electrical issues with some cheaper speakers before putting into the main system, but will it turn on with the power strip or will I have to cycle it every time I need to turn it on or wake it up?
