On average, I'm away from home 12 hours a day while at work. When I leave in the morning and there's storms in the forecast, I unplug all my gear. I've honestly never noticed any detrimental impact of unplugging my gear, or even just turning it off while not in use for that matter. After an hour or so, it sounds great.
Effects of Power Outages Where You Live
More and more, power outages seem to be an issue for me and I believe for audiophiles in general. We have had two wind storms like never before in the last 5 months that wiped out the power in my area of Ohio. Major work by the electric company has to be done to restore the power when these storms occur. Power was lost at my home once for 7 days back in September because of an extreme wind storm. The one that just happened caused only about 24 hours with lost power. How long do you think it takes your audio system's performance to restore to normal after you have unplugged it and it sits for 24 hours? Additionally, when the electric company is rebuilding damaged equipment, adding new transformers etc. what affect do you think this has or has had to the power in your area? What affect(s) has this had on the performance of your audio system?
