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?

It would be beneficial to know what the various CD player manufacturers advise about this. They're the folks who should know this intimately. Is the machine's life shortened by leaving it powered up all of the time? Yes or no?? Does the power supply stay warm and if so, would this cause it to wear out sooner? If the circuit board components (capacitors, diodes, etc) stay energized all of the time, would that shorten their opeational life???

Good stuff !!
