Do you leave your SS amp on all the time?


I never turn off my solid state amp. I read that power cycle a SS amp can incure "stress" on the components. Any protential problems for leaving it on all the time? If you leave your SS amp on, do you turn the volume down to zero?

I now leave mine on all the time, as the first poster stated, if I will be out of town or a bad storm is coming through I power down the system. That being said my amp has been on for a little over a month now straight.
Pro: Leaving any component on all the time tends to keep everything thermally stable and avoid thermal shock: light bulbs fail most of the time when they are first turned on.

Con: Some amplifiers (e.g. Krell class A rather than class AB push pull) run so hot in idle that turning the amp off while idling is recommended by the manufacturer.
Yes, on all the time, except during thunderstorms when I shut down and unplug everything.
I turn mine off. If I had a Class A/AB amp I may leave it on, however my amp (Threshold T400) is Class A. Too much money, too much heat. It seems to 'warm up' faster being a class A amp though.
I used to, but the designer of my Carver A760x amp told me that it was dumb. I got immediately smarter. Maybe you should ask your amp's design team and see what they say instead.
