Leaving a SS item on 24/7 is better for wear and tear. For tubes, tradeoff.
This question came up somewhere and after Googling something about it the fact was apparent that the #1 wear is repeated on/off cycling. worse than leaving it on all the time. So the only problem becomes is it worth it to you to waste the electricity?
Other than tube amps, which should not be left on for safety reasons and tube life. Tube preamps and other tubed low level signal devices can be left on, though if you are not using them every day, leaving on a tube preamp etc is a waste of tubes.
Since i am listening 10 hours a day every day now, i leave all my (main) stuff on 24/7.
