Do you leave your components on 24/7?


Lately I've been leaving my components on all the time, on the assumption that a) they'll be ready when I want to listen, and b) the on/off cycle ages the equipment (tubes, anyway) faster than leaving everything on. Is the latter a reasonable assumption?

I always turn off my tube amps (never leave them on unattended). They take 20 minutes to warm up.However,I never turn off my cd player. It has been on since getting it. If it has turned off (power outage or moving equipement around) it will take a full day before it starts to sounds good.
