I never turn off my accuphase integrated or my aurender streamer, as recommended by the manufacturer. The only piece I turn off is my Manley tube preamp to preserve the rather expensive tubes. I leave my simaudio amp in stand by all the time. I’ve been told the constant cycling is bad for the power switch and the capacitors. I’ve never had any problems with my equipment.
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?
