Leave solid state amps on? Or turn off everytime?


Hi,

My system consists of the following:

Slimdevices Transporter -> Bel Canto REF1000 Mono block amps -> Anthony Gallo Ref3.1 Speakers

I was wondering, should I be switching the Bel Canto amps on/off every time I listen to music? Or should I just leave them on permanently and only switch the transporter on/off (which i do anyways)?

Thanks

Its only wasteful if you cant afford it, if you can stand the heat then leave em on but know your gonna pay for it monthly.
Give me a break Grant and spare me the lecture, I have always liked you and respect you but to equate a desire to leave an amp on for best sound with the mortgage meltdown fuled by irresponsible purchasers and lenders and a lack of proper requlation is way off base and I know for a fact you are smarter than that so please dont pretend not to be.
Wow and I thought this was an audio related site, I never expected to get lectured, called greedy or socially iresponsible and from what I read nowhere was anyone asking that such issues be brought to the forum.
.....The unnecessary use of electricity is pertinent to the question posed.

So I guess the insults and lecture was just a bonus? It must be my lucky day!
I even leave my tube pre on, unless out of town or a storm is in the works.
