Leave it on?

@mitch2 ,

Do you hear any appreciable difference with your thermal magnetic switches in?

I have Yamaha MX-1 (>30 years old). Everyday, I turn it on and off.

No problem so far.

I just like to listen to music, not observe best condition of audio equipments.

Some vinyl LPs give music + scratch noise, but I only focus on the music itself.

True music lovers do not care about best listening condition, such as immediate warm sound from all-day-long turned-on audio system.

Please, just listen to music using your current system. Refrain any upgrade or any method to make sound better.

I just had a listen to my neighbor's system and it sounds better when it's turned off.

@aewarren ”…my neighbours system sounds better when it’s turned off”

l know the feeling. I even think along similar lines with some of my neighbours TV’s.  
 

Often the sound is so bad they sometimes have the subtitles on, and the picture quality is mediocre. Why do they leave their sets on the factory/show room “vivid” default settings? Bright pink faces and no deep blacks give the game away. The bigger the screens the worse it gets. It seams to never enter their minds to go onto the picture menus.

It is beyond reason how bad straight out of the box, plug and play televisions can look like.

Think the answer for tube equipment is to turn off I have two Pass Lab amps I leave on almost all the time. Also heats the room in the winter.
