Can I leave my Tuner on 24/7?

It's because of logistics that I started leaving it on on the time. It's an inexpensive Onkyo, used for basic background-type listening. You know the deal. Any problems leaving it on? Thanks in advance my audiophool friends....warren

Should have no problems, as long as it is plugged into some sort of surge protection.

should have no problem unless it is one of those tuner that don't use LED's for the display and burn out after a while.

I leave everything except my TV, class A amps & multi channel amp (it has a trigger) on all the time. They are all on line conditioners. If I leave town, everything gets unplugged except the Battery Power Supply for my Rowland amp. Most modern solid state equipment runs relatively cool, and many engineers/techs say it's better to keep it at a steady temp. I agree, I've never had a component fail from this practice....
