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?

I leave my Ayre K5xemp pre amp on all the time.  I don't think it has a on/off switch (or at least I have no idea where it is??).

I leave my Ayre P5xe phono pre amp on all the time, per Ayre recommendation.  

Everything else gets turned on and off with use.
