Left my SA-9900 Pioneer integrated on for 32 years unless I left town was the only time it was turned off. I have a 1980 mosfet SoundCraftsman that I never turn off. My 77 Marantz I turn on the night before I use it.
Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time?
I listen most nights after work. I find that the system takes a while to warm up and sounds it's best if it has been shut off. So I leave it on. I always have and this is vintage stuff. The amp is a 25/25 Bedini class A. It stays warm but never hot. It has never caused an issue but recently I've been speaking with others that were stunned that I would do this. So let me know if I'm the only one that lets it run. Do you shut off the equipment after each session?
