I leave most of the system on 24/7/365.
On always: amplifier, two preamps,(Threshold FET10 plus phono box, Bryston BP-26) SACD/DAC, two five disc CD changers, two power conditioners.Things turned off when not listening to them: Conrad Johnson ACT2, Audible Illusions Modular 3A, Audio Research SP-15, Rudistor RPX-33 mk2 headamp, Rega P-5 TT, Kuzma Stabi/Stogi S TT, Dual Golden One TT The ARC, AI M3a off most of the time since they are tubed, I only use them to play records.
The Conrad Johnson (also tubed) I use all the time, but turn it off since it is really a total furnace. *The hottest preamp probably ever made, that sucker is HOT!! and yes the guy who makes them said yes it is hot, normal.So the CJ I turn off even though I leave the stereo playing on if I go out.(PS I own 7 preamps, six working, five in one system. I guess I like preamps.
