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?

follow the manufacturers' instructions, as he or she is the best judge of optimizing the life and sound of a component.

it seems intuitive to leave all solid state gear on all the time, but ii'm sure that not all manufacturers would agree.
