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?

Warming up does matter; but then, after 30min to 1 hour of warming up, things should settle. Leaving it for 24/7 should not be necessary.

Afterall, please do our poor planet a favour. Those mega muscle amps burn a few hundred watts when idling.
