Solid state preamp warm up time?


How long does a solid state preamp need to warm up for maximum performance? Right now I leave my amp on 24/7 but not my preamp. Wondering if I should leave it on too.

I don't know what you have for a preamp and amp but I would worry about the safety of leaving the amp on and turning the pre off and on.
Leave it on 24/7,I have owned preamps(Class'e that did not even have switch to turn off.I would not keep the power amp on 24/7 that is overkill.
Leave ANY SS device on 24/7/365, unless you know you will be away for a few days, or there's a thunderstorm on it's way. A pure class A amp will draw some juice and throw some heat when quiescent, but any other class won't be an issue. You'll notice a major sonic difference(warming up) if you turn the power amp on and off. Give it a try, both ways(same music/volume levels), and report your findings. Of course: all that depends on how resolving the system is, and how critical/discerning a listener you are.
