I follow the on once, off once, per day.
Is it a OK to leave tube pre-amps powede up 24/7
I’m relatively new to tubes in my hifi setup. Recently went from SS pre to tube ARC pre-amp and a Croft phono stage.
I have always kept all of my SS gear powered up 24/7(and still do), but I shut down my pre-amp and phono stage now after I am done listening for the day. I power them up at least a half of an hour before I put anything into play.
I would prefer to leave my tube gear on all the time, but am concerned about premature tube wear.
What would the tube folk here think about 24/7?
