This question relates to my home based empeg which never leaves its dock. Using the car connector, the switched power is fed from my stereo, allowing it to power down when the stereo is turned off.

I would like to change this setup so that the empeg battery and switched lines are permanently connected to +12V, and rely on the screen blanker timout / standby timer to put the empeg to sleep.

The reason is because my PC is in a different room, and I wanna be able to fire up the empeg up via the web interface without having to get off my butt and power up my stereo system.

The question is : will such a wiring configuration effect the life / performance of my empeg ? Is standby a low enough power state to not cause a problem ?
