On or Off - On or Off - Audio Electronics

I have a Sumo Andromeda amp from the mid-80's. It has been on 24/7 for seven years without a hiccup. Same for the RGR 4 preamp. If a SS component is going to fail it will likely do it on turn on.

I am not sure when or why I started turning off gear.  When much younger I always left my system ready to go.  Maybe reflecting a perceived immortality at a younger age and then becoming a little more cautious.

My phono stages and DAC only turn off on the back panel. 

I leave my Schiit Yiggy and my Innuos Pulse Mini w/ LPS are always on unless I leave town. My Richard Gray power filter stays on the same. My SS amp goes on early morning and stays powered until bedtime. I prefer Harleys over horses so nothing to beat. 😆 Cheers , Mike B. 

I’ve owned a Classe’ solid state preamp that had no off switch. It did have a mute switch.

Correct.  It's hard to beat a Harley....
