If you have tube equipment, don't even think of leaving it on all the time. Contrary to what some audiophiles say on this site, even leaving a tube preamp in standby mode is using up valueable tube life. Audio Research states, "2000 hours of tube life will pass by in 84 days".
Solid state is another question. However, I think it is logical that there are components that will age faster from being powered continuously.
Solution? Put equipment on several hours before a listening session.
