Is it ok to leave the amp on?

I just bought a Belles 150A three channel amp (used thru this site). I am considering placing on top of a wall unit (due to space problems). This unit does not have an auto-on feature so I would need to leave it on most of the time.. (except when going out of town etc..) What is the general opinion on this.. and is this manufacturer sensative?

Leaving a tube amp on all the time/or my CAT pre w/10 of them glowing suckers wouldn't make much sense; except to the electric co, and the guy who sells me the tubes.Best advice for SS: Get the best timer device you can find,set it to come on a couple of hrs. before you come home.

Yo-Mr. Mfgrep ; One could do the timer thing;then when you get ready to listen;unplug, and go to the wall.You could get a good timer,and listen for differences. You may find you have the same contact area as that of the breaker controlling the line.I sure wasn't referring to a $3.98 timer.
