Do I NEVER shut it off…?

Agree, "anal audiophile" is redumbdant.

I believe that if you have a well regulated power supply, an amp can be turned off.

A well regulated power supply, being necessary to quality of a high end system, the right of the people to leave it on shall not be infringed.

As I was told by another very experienced fellow also with a
great ear. Keep the DACs on always. SS may take a week to
fully wake up.

I don't know about the ears but this one is a great listener. The other one, not so much.

You might want to re-watch that one.

Frankly, my dear, etc, etc. 

Then watch A Streetcar Named Desire, where Blanch DuBois says, "Whoever you are I have always depended on the kindness of strangers."  

The House reference, was either that one or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JOKakmbnVE  admittedly a close call. 

All solid state regardless of class takes days to reach full saturation/equilibrium and so needs to be left on 24/7 in order to hear full performance.

Don’t take my word for it. Never just take anyone’s word for anything. That includes the manufacturer. Unless you really think any manufacturer is going to tell you the truth, that his SS masterpiece will not sound its best unless left on 24/7/365. He won’t. Truth hurts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lk4g3cippOo

So what you do, leave it on for at least a week. Get good and used to how it sounds left on all the time like this. Then one night turn it off. Leave it off until the next time you are ready to listen. Turn it on. Listen.

Now either you realize it sounds nowhere near as good, or you realize you can’t hear the difference. Either way now at last you know the truth.  

Told you it would hurt.

You bought SS not knowing it needs to be left on to sound good? Tablejockey is correct. You will never hear a sizeable amount of what you paid for unless you leave it on. Live and learn.
