I leave my system powered-up all the time. I wouldn't do so with a tube amp, but I find my heavily modified cj PV-12L sounds better with the tubes warm all the time. More importantly, the tubes last longer that way IMO.

Do you leave your components on 24/7?
Lately I've been leaving my components on all the time, on the assumption that a) they'll be ready when I want to listen, and b) the on/off cycle ages the equipment (tubes, anyway) faster than leaving everything on. Is the latter a reasonable assumption?
