Amp — Leave on or turn off


I always turned my Benchmark AHB2 amp off after use every night. After all, why is there an on off switch on the front panel if not to do that? Last night I accidentally left it on. This morning, when I played my first record, I couldn’t believe my ears. The same record I played last night sounded infinitely better. I tried a second record and that, too, was much better.
I know there’s a debate on the question of leaving an amp on all the time.
I now know where I stand!

And there is often less electrical activity in the neighborhood mornings.

I often forget to turn an amp off overnight for no net gain in SQ.

I agree with both 12many and fuzztone ,  I turn my McCormack amp on about an hour before listening , enough time to warm up .

My AT3002 amp has a standby mode feature. I think it keeps the amps circuitry charged up some.

I usually turn it on about an hour before using.
