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 do not leave my equipment on, as my amp and preamp shut themselves down after so many minutes of idle time and with a power unit, DAC and transport, consumes quite a bit of electricity.

It does take 10-15 minutes of play time for my equipment to sound its best.
