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?

My PS Audio amps are designed to be turned off using the front buttons while keeping the circuit warm as long as the back buttons are not turned off. After turning on the front buttons warmup time only takes about 20 minutes.
