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?

@nrenter +10.  SS equipment can be left on, many manufacturers recommend leaving them powered up unless you will be not using them for a prolonged period of time. 

@nrenter My big SS mono blocks and preamp are Hegel.  I have posed this question to Hegel.  They're take is the equipment has soft start circuitry,  that SS equipment requires only  few minutes to warm up and constant power just shortens the lifespan.  I can't see any reason they are giving me bad advice.  In the end, whatever makes us happy.  Cheers. 

@bigtwin, that’s great! You should listen to the manufacturer. However, my commentary still stands. 

I wish I kept Tidal.  Went to Qobuz for the free trial and didn't cancel it time so I'm stuck with it for a year..  My  bad.  

I hate Qobuz's playlists and they have too many gaps.
