Appliance energy consumption

I've got to replace my dishwasher and hi-fi soon (the dishwasher is still just about working, although it is nearly as old as I am 
), but the hi-fi is dead and I have no idea whether I can fix it (could I have killed it by switching it off at the mains rather than leaving it on standby?). 
When I've been looking at dishwashers, there's plenty of information about energy efficiency, delayed starts for E7 users, water consumption etc.
Does anyone know of a site where you can find out energy consumption for hi-fi equipment in different modes (stand-by, on, on and working), and whether they can actually be switched off without losing all the presets? Is there a site for home electronics equivalent to the EPEAT one for computers?
If I have to buy something new I'd like to go for something energy efficient - and on the assumption that it will probably cost a bit more, I reckon that by working out the lifetime cost, the low-energy consumption should make it better value overall
