i have an all in one streamer/integrated amp from naim that i leave on 24/7, and recently tested out a NAD c 3050 LE- noticed this amp turns off after 15 mins or so of being left on standby w no music playing, which i thought was a little weird. do you leave your integrated amp on or off? thanks

    I leave all of my gear on 24/7. I use it 3-4 times a day so I avoid power up/down stress on the power supplies. None of it has a standby mode so it is either off or on.

    Possibly out dated old school thinking today, but that was the wisdom back in the day. From my personal experience in repairing computers, monitors etc back in 80s and 90s most failures occurred during power up.
