What Benefits Do You Really Get?

I'm always wondering and like to hear it from you guys. What benefits do you actually get by having your equipments ON 24/7? I do admit that my Power Amp sounded so MUCH better after 30 minutes or so, but other than that I'm hard pressed to find any other reasons. You will definitely shorten your Amp's lifeline (although some manufactures recommended that you always leave the power ON, why? because they do not want you to get stuck with just one Amp, the faster your Amp burned out, the quicker you're in the market for new one). Why not just turn on the Power for 30-40 minutes before listening? Have you guys heard of Manhole Explosions? if your car parked above one and if the explosion happened, your car is toasted.

As I was saying, what if that Manhole is right outside your house/apartment, then you might ended up with a toasted car and a well toasted Stereo System. Hey, you left your equipments on anything can happen right? who to blame now?

Wow Bryoncunningham, you have an interesting component there. My system sounds worse only after I had a few drinks. I guessed there are more upsides from leaving them on 24/7. From now on, I might start leaving them all ON and hope that I have a deep pocket for replacements just in case something happened. I do have a deep pocket, but it has holes in it and I still can't find a Tailor to sew it up for me yet guys.

One last thing guys, besides the high Electric bill to pay. After 10 hours or so, not just my Amp is hot but almost the entire room's temp is definitely raising. I think the class A amp will do that to anyone not just me as I am using a Pass X350, you know how hot that thing is.
