Switched outlet for power amp

Agree with bullitt. Every amp I have owned, tube or ss, sounded best after burn in, warm up, whatever term you want to use. Not only in tonality, but in pure ease, smoothness and finesse. I leave all of my ss gear on, continuously, as I listen daily. 

Why would you ever want to shut your amp off? All my amps have been on for the last 40 years. The only time they go off is during a power outage. That's the only time I touch the power switch. It's harder on your amp to turn it on and off all the time, and wears out the switch. Turn it on and fuggetaboutit. And switched outlets?! That ain't audiophile stuff there son.

I've given up on the switched outlet concept, amd have decided to follow the designer's instructions to turn it on and off. 

@jea48 ... it's amazing how much diversity of opinion there is on this subject. It makes for voluminous reading. I agree that the power switch likely will outlast me, and have discovered that keeping the amp on perennially likely could result in excessive wear on caps, etc. So, in the spirit of "k.i.s.s." (not the band), I'm just going with the on/off route as per the designer. This issue has been almost as difficult as trying to understand the BJT vs MOSFET debate, which is something I considered before purchasing my new amp. Methinks I have way too much time on my hands.
