I use my HT system Friday/Saturday/Sunday. Mon-Thurs the wife and I are in our living room. I used to leave everything on. But then figured if my system was going to be completely unused for 4 days, wouldn't it be better to power everything down? So only recently have I started doing that. And I mean I power everything down, DAC's, Processor, Amp, Streamer, and all 4 of my subs. I actually flip switches powering everything off fully.
Then on Thursday night before bed I power everything up. I don't play the system. Then fist thing Friday AM before work I run the streamer at low volume and let it play all day so it's nice and warmed up by the time I get home.
Then everything stays on until Sunday night when we go to bed all switches off.
I'm sticking with this routine😁
