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

There are a few amps whose mfg'erers recommend leaving the amp on at all times. The Sim-Audio Moon W-5 could actually take a full 3 days to warm up.

But in my limited experience it seems that the majority of amps only require between 30 minutes and a few hours to warm up.

For sake of fire and/or lightning, I prefer to shut it off every night and depending on the season, even unplug things.

-IMO
