I don't sleep, I stream.
I stream 24/7. Do you?
I find long playlists on Tidal, set them on repeat, and stream 24/7 as background music (my office is right next, and kind of open, to my listening room). My system is solid-state, so I never turn it off anyways. Anyone else stream 24/7?

Electric bill - insignificant Heat - insignificant Shortening the life of equipment - From both a theoretical perspective (I have a EE degree) and a practical perspective (I’ve had components powered on continually for 17+ years) your presumption is a myth. Now there are some caveats - properly designed heat dissipation and proper ventilation. Shove a Class A amp under a mattress and, yes, bad things will happen. But solid state components do need time to stabilize to sound their best, and I don’t have the time or patience to wait. |
@bigtwin, that’s great! You should listen to the manufacturer. However, my commentary still stands. |
