Amp — Leave on or turn off

Hilde your croissant is fresh or a day before?

I used to have an Adcom GFA-555 that I left on all the time.

When I got back into audio gear during COVID and purchased some Aragon gear, it very clearly stated in the owners manual to turn the amps off when not in use.

After being between those two extremes, I'd probably think letting the equipment warm up a bit isn't bad, but I see no need to leave SS equipment on all the time nowadays.

To each their own.

It is, as many stated, amp specific. I will add that it is also user specific. In my case the weekends are my music time, so my system is off all week. When I get home Friday night, I turn everything on and leave it until my weekend is over. My Macintosh gear always sounds better by Sunday. Could be the bourbon helps some. I am going to do more studies. Wish me luck.

Much has todo is how much power it sucks up ,A pure class A amp runs full bore so no to Thst one ,a class D amp if you wanted why not  a amp takes about 30 minutes to get to temp  and if newer the capacitors and transformers could take 

months to fully settle in. Depending how much you play it.

My Pass XA 60.8 power amps take an hour to warm up and the sound quality improves slghtly over the next hour. There are no further gains to be made from leaving the amplifiers on when not being used from listening - except for warming up the room, but that's a very expensive form of space heating and not recommended.
