Leaving my amplifier on ok?

most new components have soft start circuitry that dramatically reduce the inrush and damage to components. So this shouldn’t be an issue with newer components.

@minorl Even if that’s so, which you’d need to confirm with the manufacturer, the point you’re missing is that the constant temperature fluctuations between cold and warm/hot also degrade electronic components faster — this according to Steve McCormack.  I’d refer you to my prior post for more context if you haven’t read it already.

My 'go to' Audio EE, who has designed and built a selection of my systems devices, and carried out circuit corrective works on another owned device.

Made it known to me in the very earliest days of out relationship, to always have eyes on the devices in use, to Power Off after use and revisit shortly after Power Off for peace of mind.

This is a discipline maintained to date, which was first strongly suggested over 25 Years ago.

This advice even though extremely valuable, is seemingly the anti-thesis of the description being given of how another EE is endorsing certain paractices.

On the matter of early component failure being realised through heat fluctuations is surely a case of stepping over $'s to pick up Cents.

I lost my home due to an electrical fire occurring, as a result of being foolish and try to prolong the life of a devices components that might only cost a few cents to replace once spent.

All Cap's, Resistors, Switches are going one way, and that is spent as a usage life. Ask a EE.  

@soix, Thanks for the information.  I don't believe that it is a constant temp flux, because one isn't turning on an off like a 3 year old.  It is turned on and let warm up.  Hence the word warm up.

however, I appreciate your input and will look at your other post/responses.

any good information can't hurt.

enjoy

@minorl I think I kinda misspoke — I meant that every time you turn your system on the temp of the internal electronic components go from cool to warm/hot, and then when you turn it off the reverse happens.  This is the temperature fluctuation I was referring to, not some constant fluctuation during operation.  Just wanted to clear that up and sorry for the confusion. 

No worries.

we are on the same page.

Thanks,

enjoy
