Do I NEVER shut it off…?

Gryphon says in the instruction manual to leave the amp on. (Diablo 300) 

It sounds amazing and never shuts down, but gets almost too hot to touch on certain parts of the side heat syncs. 
Really…? Leave it on all the time…?

What do you guys think…?

Thank you…!

Leaving the amp on at all times puts the anal in analogue.Oh, I was going to save that for the turntable crowd.

Anal audiophile? Redundant. Anal analogue audiophile? Double redundant....

I believe that if you have a well regulated power supply, an amp can be turned off.

A well regulated power supply, being necessary to quality of a high end system, the right of the people to leave it on shall not be infringed.

I think you mean a soft start circuit, not a regulated power supply two very different circuits that do two very different things.
