Amp — Leave on or turn off


I always turned my Benchmark AHB2 amp off after use every night. After all, why is there an on off switch on the front panel if not to do that? Last night I accidentally left it on. This morning, when I played my first record, I couldn’t believe my ears. The same record I played last night sounded infinitely better. I tried a second record and that, too, was much better.
I know there’s a debate on the question of leaving an amp on all the time.
I now know where I stand!

When I asked this question on Google, it said this is  almost a religious issue.

 Probably shouldn’t have brought it up.

Well, I called Benchmark and they say there’s no advantage in leaving it on all the time unless you have an investment in the power company.

Guess it’s my imagination or my mood. 
I’m still leaving it on though just in case.  
The technician says it makes no difference as it draws very little current.
