The curious thing about the SS amp is that it starts at about 63W,
then seems to settle down after a minute or two at 25W.

Volume at either of the amps wasn't high - from zero up to
need-to-raise-your-voice - but consumption stayed about the same.

Carry on ...

Power supply reservoir capacitors charging up.


That should take about 1 cycle (ok, maybe 1 and a little bit), but still
only 20ms or so.

Unless the power supply caps needed to reform at startup.
