Every time I get an email notification that someone's added to this DC-1 thread I get excited because I always like to hear what Keith has to say. I'm using the DC-1 as my desktop computer system with JBL LSR305's and the LSR310S sub. I have nothing to add but to say that I've owned some pretty expensive systems and this one is easily my favorite. The imaging is what kicks my ass every time. These speakers with their wave guides and the Stealth ..just wow. It might not get as loud as a Klipschorn or have the chest thump of a set of stacked Advents pumping 1500 wpc, but it's perfect for what I need as an audio system in this room.
I also never turn my systems off. These machines have been on since I put them together about 10 months ago. My dad the HAM radio operator always told me that the thermal damage from cycling electronics was far worse than leaving them on 24/7. This was 50 years ago, and it's never done me wrong.
I'd be interested to see what Keith says about longevity. I believe the DC-1 always "stays on" to some extent when you leave it in stand-by mode, and the only way to turn it off is by turning the physical power switch in the back.
