Leave solid state amps on? Or turn off everytime?


Hi,

My system consists of the following:

Slimdevices Transporter -> Bel Canto REF1000 Mono block amps -> Anthony Gallo Ref3.1 Speakers

I was wondering, should I be switching the Bel Canto amps on/off every time I listen to music? Or should I just leave them on permanently and only switch the transporter on/off (which i do anyways)?

Thanks

I turn my solidstate amp off when I don't use it. (unless I intentionally use it as a heater in Winter)

It is not because I can't afford it.

I'm doing it for my beloved child, and his children ...

FYI, I switched to tubes and part of the reason is the much shorter warm-up time. and Yes, for SS, it takes a long time to warm up and it makes quite a difference.
