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?

After trying the always on or turned off ways multiple times, I have adopted the following method:

Turning off every piece of equipment that has an on and off feature in front of the unit and always leaving on the ones that only have a on and off function on the back of the unit. I am not gonna try to outsmart the designers any longer. It's common sense to me.

I used to leave my Innuos ZENith Mk3 on all the time. Since I have been turning it off each time I'm done listening, I no longer have any kind of hiccups at all. I only had issues once in a great while, but it is better without any. Soundwise seems unchanged however.

No on and off switch anywhere, the designer obviously meant for the unit to be powered on 24/7.
