I used to leave it on 24/7 thinking it too would appreciate the consistency but found that turned on an hr or two before listening was sufficient. Keep in mind you must have some good breathing room above it because it does run a bit warm. If closed cabinet it'll warm up a lot, if open shelf you still need over an inch or preferably 2 or more on top to keep it reasonable. I also listen in "Pure Audio" mode (no need for track displays sucking power, except for when manually switching tracks).
BTW, you should experiment with different footers too, I have found the MIGS [by Synergistic Research I think?] to be excellent.Good luck
