Solid state power amps.; on or off?


Some people keep telling me that solid state gear should be left powered on all the time during day to day listening. They claim that thermal consistency will improve long term life and reliability. Power cost consideration appart, what is your opinion; experience?

I have all Classe equipments. When I called Classe technical service, they told me that I should turn off everything and turn on everything 1 hour before listening. I've confused because most people say that it's better to leave them on at all time. Well,I'll call them again and hope to talk to another person to see if thier answers are the same.
Just talk to Classe this morning, and they said the same thing that I asked a month ago which is "everything should be off, and turn on two hours before listening". I'll ask my dealer tomorrow. DT
