Leaving a PSU on - yea or nay?

I’ve recently purchased a LTA MicroZotl2 that has an outboard linear power supply unit - i.e., the power supply unit is a box separate from the amplifier itself. The D.C. umbilical cable is four feet in length, which would allow me to tuck the PSU somewhere out of sight if I wanted to, though that would pretty much ensure I kept the PSU on all the time, only turning the amplifier itself on or off. I’m assuming that would be a no-no, however, given that the PSU does throw off some heat. Does anyone have any advice on whether it’s ok to leave an outboard PSU on 24/7?

Great. Thanks for that. Yeah, I bought the MZ2 used and always feel a little goofy contacting an audio manufacturer with the message “I didn’t pay you for this item but want your advice on it anyway…”. 

Having said that, a few weeks with the MZ2 really makes me want to try LTA’s other offerings, including the ZOTL 10. The MZ2 sounds fantastic.
