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 had about the 8th edition ifScott Mueller’s Upgrading and Repairing PCs - he discussed the pros and cons of keeping them constantly powered.

    At the time, I think his take was that the alternating heat and cooling-off on and off cycles would cause more wear than keeping them constantly on and warm.

    I have a Sony AVR that’s been on most of the time since about 1993. Sounds and works great. Even after falling out of my closet to the floor in the '97 Northridge earthquake.

      Yeah, keeping your PC on all the time causes less wear on the components. If you shut down your PC once a day, this will not cause any problems tho. It doesn’t really matter for a regular user.
