Leave an amp "on" permanetly


I understand that tube amps need to warm up sufficently before they can reach their potential. Is this also true with SS amps? I own a McCormack DNA-1 deluxe, and I hear a discernable difference when listening to my system "cold" versus "warmed-up". Do you also find this to be true?

If so, would people recommend leaving a SS amp on permanently? Could I damage my amp by doing this?

So what happens when you are out and there is a thunderstorm at home?
My practice is to switch on the system and let the system play a CD end to end while I am having dinner or watching my favourite program on TV. So when I am ready to listen typcally in about an hours time, its all ready to go. I shutdown everything when its time for bed.
