There really is no need to run an amp 24/7 unless you’re listening to it. Apart from the electricity usage, there’s too much wear and tear on the components in terms of heat. I know A lot of audiophiles leave ss gear on but not me. That’s my 2 cents.
Regardless of whether it's tube or SS, anytime an electric current is running through a device, it's being used up and dying a slow death. Why would you fritter away potential enjoyment time of your expensive gear to keep something you aren't listening to warmed up for when you do get around to actually using it?? In this case, the cost of the fix doesn't seem to be a viable solution to the questionable problem. Besides that, any man who has been married for any amount of time knows that once a woman gets a bee in her bonnet, everyone else in the house will suffer until she is sure the bee is gone.😉
