How much energy is used to start up or switch on old technology compared to how much is used to be on stand by current technology?
When I was a small boy and I turned on our new Stromberg Carlson TV and recordplayer it seemed like an eternity until RIN TINTIN came on ( albeit the power was on .
My question is: If we eliminate stand by devices which device uses more power in the start up phase ? Is it the old systems or is it the newer standby systems. No doubt that without valves and etc. the current models of whatever will start up more quickly than the old.
In other words are we comparing like with like?
