Should You Leave An External Power Supply On 24-7?

I have an LTA linear power supply.  LTA told me to leave it on 24/7.

Yes my SS equipment is on 24-7 330 days a year.  I power down when I go on vacation. 

+1 @jacobsdad2000 That’s what most solid state manufacturers seem to recommend (including Pardo, who knows better about your PS than anyone here).  I left my solid state components on (except for extended vacations) and had decades of trouble-free performance.  Plus, leaving something on means it’s always warmed up and ready to play, so there’s that nice little bonus.  Just my $0.02 FWIW.

I also installed a Teddy Pardo with my Node about 2 weeks ago. I leave them both on all the time, but turn off all of my other components. The Teddy Pardo seems to draw very little power and doesn’t get hot anyway. I’ll continue to leave mine on all the time.

Class A off. The rest on.

Plixir Elite Balanced DC Linear Power Supplies do not have an on/off switch for sound quality reasons. There is a surprising quality jump when you add the Signature DC cable between the Linear Supply and the device as well. It all makes a difference.
