Question was presented to a McIntosh tech some years back.
The response was a resounding NO. If it’s on its being used and any piece of equipment being used does not have its life span increased by being used.
Leaving my amplifier on ok?
Would it be ok to leave my amplifier on all the time if I want to extend the reliability of the amp? Many amplifiers ar Class A, high current bias and tubes might be a problem if energy consumption is a factor. Not to mention Excessive heat from bias operation. Is it possible to extend the life of the amp with leaving it on all the time?
