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

My Pass Labs XA100.5 manual states "when not actually intending to play music the amplifier should be left in standby mode, where it draws only a few watts of bias on the output stage." I turn my amps on (via front switch)about an hour before I plan to listen to music.
