I'm surprised by those figures when I consider how quickly my D200 gets warm and how warm it does get in use.

After many hours of playing at reasonably loud volumes the D200 I used was warm but not hot to the touch, so my power measurements may reflect my loads. I'd be interested if you could measure your D200 power consumption to see if it differs. Kill-A-Watt meters are cheap and useful instruments.

I ended up buying a "Steplight" power consumption meter. Supposedly one of the most accurate of the cheap devices available.
Typical figures that I get are not very far removed from the results that you quoted.
I am measuring with D200 connected to Australian 240v/50Hz power supply (if that makes a difference ?). SAM and sub.
Off - 8.8w
Standby - 10.8w
-34dB USB - 31w
-17dB USB - 37w temps 41, 39, 44
I'm still surprised.
So few watts create so much heat.
Why do we need power cords thicker than our thumbs to deliver what amounts to a very modest current ?
