Human sonic memory is not more than a few seconds ...While auditory memory is shorter than visual memory, to suggest that auditory memory lasts for just a few seconds is an oft-repeated claim by audio measurementalists such as yourself. Oddly, I've never seen it accompanied by any documentation. Do you have any to offer?
Leave your gear on and you will significantly reduce the life span of critical components.Nonsense. There is plenty of audio equipment - and other electronic components - that is rated for continuous duty. My ARC SP-11 preamp was left on essentially continuously for decades without issues. I sold it to a friend a few years ago ... it’s still running like a charm! And that’s a tube-based component.
