I am not debating the merits of turning off tubed gear, but in conversation with Jud Barber of Joule Electra, he stated that many of his customers leave their Joule preamps on all of the time. In fact, he informed me that this was a perfectly acceptable practice with his gear and that the tubes should last 6-8 years following this routine.
There certainly have been some compelling reasons as to why this might be a dangerous or counterproductive practice but thought that I would relate another viewpoint that has been expressed from a well respected designer of tubed gear.
FYI, he did not say to follow the same routine with his amps however.
