Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time?

I listen most nights after work. I find that the system takes a while to warm up and sounds it's best if it has been shut off. So I leave it on. I always have and this is vintage stuff. The amp is a 25/25 Bedini class A. It stays warm but never hot. It has never caused an issue but recently I've been speaking with others that were stunned that I would do this. So let me know if I'm the only one that lets it run. Do you shut off the equipment after each session?

No, mine are covered 24/7
when I do fire up, I power on the night before, leave them on all day, so when I come home,Friday night or Sat night, they are ready to rumble.
 When I’m done listening, I power off and unplug them.  
Amps, preamp, and CD player are powered on night before a good listening session.   Best time is from 12-4 am. When power is strong.
 Hard as I’m not a night owl, but the speakers relax me, and I have never had fatigue since I purchased my grail speakers!
