Tube power amp - keep on continually?

I am wondering if there are advantages to leaving tube equipment, such as amps and preamps on continually. I currently own a pair of Rogue M-120, and will turning on and off the m-120 shorten the life of the tubes? If so, to what extent?

Best Regard

Thanks for all the advice. I will turn it off when it is not in-use.

Cool down time, may be that is why everything I turn off the amp, there is a "DIN DIN DIN" sound from the Rogue M-120, I believe is from the output tubes. Thanks Sean
