Stupid question of the day: Should I leave Amp on?


Hi.... almost afraid to ask: do people switch off their equipment or leave it powered 24/7? I have a mid-fi Acurus A250 and LS11 Amp Preamp and am not sure what is wore: switch it off every evening or leave it powered?
Would be great to hear what the experts have to say,
Tnx

IMO it depends on the gear. To use my own for an example, the preamp is designed to be on at all times, so it is; the amp has a stand-by feature, which I use. I put the amp in stand-by every night and then turn it "on" every morning. I do believe there is other gear that does benefit from being left on all the time, like my friends Plinius.
