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

    Maybe? There certainly could also be longevity/reliability benefits of reducing power cycles. Mostly for the power switch I would guess. (Thank God for the triac mod that saves the power switches on vintage gear.)

    I’m mostly saying there are no sonic benefits to leaving it on.

      Triac mod?

      Since you’re here, what’s your take on using a power strip to turn everything on and off? Assuming the gear has a physical switch to cut power at the main 110v and not a relay standby switch?
