general advice is to leave the device plugged in only as long as needed to charge or use the electronic device. yet in the days of home stereos everything was plugged in all the time regardless of being used or having music played. the new technology is weak by comparison with heavy duty home entertainment.

Maybe not much but it does consume power. Try leaving it plugged in with no load on it and after a few hours feel it and see if it's warm. if it is warm, it's drawing power. If it's not warm, maybe still drawing power. LOL
