Leave it on?


I just listened to Paul McGowan explain that turning SS equipment on and off degrades the capacitors from the tiny power surge and that leaving SS equipment on ALL THE TIME is best. What do you do?

I put my integrated amp into standby when done listening. 
My DAC doesn’t have a standby mode, it’s either on or off using the switch on the back panel. It runs cool so I just turn off display and leave the unit on. I unplug everything when we’re going away on a trip. 

If your electronics have a standby mode I encourage you to use it.
