Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time?

Wow...didn't expect this would be a debate, but it's a good debate. 

I used to worry about it, but these days, I really don't. Back when I had my quicksilvers, I just made an educated guess that turning them on and off more than twice a day was about the same as leaving them on, as far as tube wear goes. I could be wrong, could be right. 

Off and on IS hard on tubes...but, so is playing them. At idle...not so much.

Obviously, designs vary on how hard the tubes are driven, right? 

I pay my electric bill, I pay my taxes, and I pay for my stereo stuff. Sometimes I gotta leave it playing to break it in. Like doing laundry.

My big 125 watt tube amps have a 45 second warm up.  Once on, they take about 20 minutes to reach maximum set bias.  Although they run cool enough to put your hand on the transformers (Class A/B), the tubes only last 2500 hours.  So, I do not want to run them full time or pay for the excess power used (I do have solar covering most of the year except the summer when a 9000KV system just isn't enough in inland SoCal).  I leave on my Bryston BIT20 isolation transformer all the time as it uses nominal power when no load is asking for power.  I used to leave my EAR 324 phono stage (solid state) on all the time as well but have switched to a tube phono stage.  

I warm my amps up in Standby. With no B+ on the power tubes, they last a lot longer.

My DACs and Players I leave on all the time. Most DACs I have play best after a week, so there is not much choice here.
But I am unsure about my tube A class amp, it needs 2 hours to sound full (maybe after more it goes even better, didn't test that). It has 9 tubes, draws constantly almost 300W and runs very hot. Now I don't care much about tube lifespan (I even believe on all the time is better for them, than 5x on/off per day!) or electricity bills, but about getting the darn house on fire or breaking this high end capacitors. It is so annoying needing to wait 2 hours for a proper listening session. I think I will get myself $1k++ power conditioner (should help when something bad happens with amp??) and just leave it on all the time except when travelling... Just not sure about the room temperatures when comming home after work when this thing was on.

Putting the energy consumption issue to the side here is something to consider in terms of component reliability. I have had two sources tell me that electronic component lifetime is related to the number of power cycles (on/off). This came from discussions with a supercomputer designer as well as discussion with a speaker manufacturer on the topic of crossover design. I would guess that slow start circuits could also reduce the impact of on/off power cycles to a degree. Of course leaving a component powered up all the time does not make sense for a tube amp with the power tube life issues and heat.
  Personally I leave my TRL Dude preamp and Samson monoblocks on all the time unless I leave on vacation.
