Music sounds natural when player kept powered on


Despite whatever people claim, in my system, I find that when I leave my CD player on, the music sounds absolutely natural and does not have any brittleness/hardness to it. I also find that my system images more precisely with the player left on 24X7.
My question is, how does leaving the player on affect the laser/lens? Does the life of the laser/lens deteriorate at a rapid rate as compared to when it is shut down after each use?

Montejay,
Thanks for the link and confirming that there are no ill-effects to leaving the unit powered on. Isn't it divine when the music sounds so natural? Sometimes I keep wondering what benefits I would achieve by upgrading to the Marantz SA-11S2. Had my lens replaced in February this year after it failed to read 2 single layer SACDs

Steveaudio,
Even I am not an expert and was wondering. Hence the question. I switch my machine on/off just once a day. But that was not the point. The point was leaving it on makes the music sounding so natural. I am at a loss of words here. All I can say is, when I switch it on and play the music, it does not distract me much from the work I am doing at hand. But if I play some music on it when it is left powered on, the music simply grabs my attention and distracts me from doing any work that I have at my hand. I simply have to stop the player or stop my work. The music becomes so engrossing. Don't know why, or the science behind it (capacitor charging, etc)...but it happens. Believe it or not.
Mrtennis,
Just to make it clear - it is my experience that I am describing. I don't have to do any experiments or prove anything to any one.
Yes, I understand that I might have acute hearing while you maybe making an erroneous perception. But nobody is perfect, so it is fine with me. I have my opinion and you have your opinion.
