Should You Leave An External Power Supply On 24-7?


I had always left my Bluesound Node on 24/7. I have recently installed a Teddy Pardo external linear power supply on the Bluesound Node. Is it wise to turn off the power supply every night when I shut the system down, or should it be left on 24/7?

Your thoughts please.

Yes my SS equipment is on 24-7 330 days a year.  I power down when I go on vacation. 

+1 @jacobsdad2000 That’s what most solid state manufacturers seem to recommend (including Pardo, who knows better about your PS than anyone here).  I left my solid state components on (except for extended vacations) and had decades of trouble-free performance.  Plus, leaving something on means it’s always warmed up and ready to play, so there’s that nice little bonus.  Just my $0.02 FWIW.
