Should You Leave An External Power Supply On 24-7?


I had always left my Bluesound Node on 24/7. I have recently installed a Teddy Pardo external linear power supply on the Bluesound Node. Is it wise to turn off the power supply every night when I shut the system down, or should it be left on 24/7?

Your thoughts please.

For what it's worth, Bluesound instructions noted to keep the Node on all the time as the power up cycles can increase wear and tear on components.

@dr-boop I didn’t know that, great info. TYVM  I have a BSN + LPS and leave them powered on all the time.  The combo draws very little current.  I've had no issues doing this.

ok, now that most seem to agree power supplies can be left on 24/7/365.

if OK, What about a power supply that powers a phono amp with a tube? I would think that should be turned off!  If left on, wouldn't that lead to premature failure of the tube?
