Leave it on?

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.

Treat your SS equipment like a old lady's dress. Once it's on, leave it on.

using the national average of 19 cents per kwh the cost to leave an amp that uses 85 watts just being on would cost $166.45 in electricity a year .  So look at what your amp uses when not being played but left on 24/7/365 and decide if it's worth especially if your electricity cost more than national average .

p.s.  I turn my system off but I do turn everything on at least 1/2 hour before I sit down an listen .

The comment above, are you trying to drop us a gentle hint about your life style choice?
To run/burn us in gently?

No judgments from me, it’s a free World 🤐

What do you think @grannyring ?

@vair68robert  l think you could be called an energy champion. $155 is quite a hit for an 85 watt amplifier being left on for a year and just for one piece of gear.
