Some very interesting viewpoints. I never turn my equipment off. I would be willing to bet that 95 percent of equipment problems occur within 5 minutes of turn on. I know that is true for me.
One of the reasons why I am able to leave my equipment on all the time is that it is all solid state. I purchased a tube amp and preamp not too long ago and I sold them, on Audiogon of course, because I did not like not being able to listen to music on demand.
I do understand the environmental viewpoints that have been posted in regard to this topic. Most of the equipment that I own run in a standby mode when not in use.
