What Benefits Do You Really Get?

I'm always wondering and like to hear it from you guys. What benefits do you actually get by having your equipments ON 24/7? I do admit that my Power Amp sounded so MUCH better after 30 minutes or so, but other than that I'm hard pressed to find any other reasons. You will definitely shorten your Amp's lifeline (although some manufactures recommended that you always leave the power ON, why? because they do not want you to get stuck with just one Amp, the faster your Amp burned out, the quicker you're in the market for new one). Why not just turn on the Power for 30-40 minutes before listening? Have you guys heard of Manhole Explosions? if your car parked above one and if the explosion happened, your car is toasted.

the benefit might be a hefty contribution to your local power company.

otherwise if you ascribe to the "warm up" theory, you eliminate the warm up period so that , in theory, the sound of your stereo is optimized.

i would think twice about leaving tube preamps, amps and cd players in the on mode, all the time.
