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?

Vitus Integrated amp stays on in Class AB all the time.  I listen in class A then switch to class AB after listening.  It takes hours to sound at its best from cold if I move it to standby.  Vitus CDP/DAC is on all the time too.

I leave all the components (pre/power and CDP) on in the the secondary Naim system at all times too.  This system has been switched on continually for 20 years!
