Actually I warm up the room (if needed) about 1-2 hours prior to listening and I turn on all the equipment and softly play music for about 45 minutes before heading down to listen.
That said, unplugging the power conditioner would be way more difficult than reaching around a component and turning the conditioner on or off. I haven't been that limber in years.
I'm just wondering if people have an opinion as to which way would be better. Leave it constantly on, or get on my hands & knees and reach around a component to turn it on and off every time I listen to music. If the general consensus is there really is no big difference, I'd just as soon save the wear & tear on my knees. BTW - 25 years here and I've never experienced a lightning strike.
