I have two systems and leave the PS Audio PowerPlants on for both. But I power off my tube integrated when not in use. I leave on my Pass Labs preamp. But everything else that is SS and can go on standby mode I put in standby mode. On my headphone station I power off all the gear that I can reasonably power off. Most of that is SS. One amp is a Schiit Moljnir and I power that off.
When to Poweroff amps and preamps
I apologize if this has been asked before but I haven’t been able to find it. What is recommended for when to turn off the power to amplifiers and preamps? What if you’re going to be using the equipment within a day or so...power it off completely, put it on sleep if that’s available, leave it on? What if you’re not going to use it for a longer time...a couple of days? A week? Are there different recommendations for solid state and tube equipment? I’m interested in both getting the best sound and prolonging the equipment life.
