Class A Amp Question
I understand class A amps run at 100% regardless of input level, which explains why some of them run hot even at idle.
Why then when I turn up the volume on my pre-amp does the meter on my power conditioner show an increase of amps being drawn? At idle it shows about 1.3 amps, last night I had it cranked up and it was showing a 3.2 amp draw. Just curious.
