If you can afford the electric, then yes. Tube gear may also need new tubes sooner.

If the gear has a standby setting then use that. They usually are designed to keep that part of the gear warm that takes a long time to warm up. The rest can be off to save power.

On a CD player the front display lights and transport power is usually turned off on standby. The digital DAC part stays on.
There are many threads on this subject I would do a search and puruse thru them and make your own decision. But in general my opinion is if you have a stand-by mode them use that; if not turn it off.
