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?

I never turn off my cd player as my experience mirrors yours. The laser is only on when a disc is playing.It shouldn't affect it's lifetime.There is also a debate as to
wear and tear powering on and off has on internal components.
See this article as it also backs up your findings
