My Bluesond is always on because it’s kind of annoying to turn on/off and our whole video setup that my wife uses often is running through it as well.

Vintage tube preamp is always on, because it does take a while to warm up and doesn’t seem to use that much electricity.

Class A solid-state power amp gets turned off when not in use because it runs hot and pulls a ton of electricity. It takes a little while to warm up too, but it’s not worth the current draw to leave it on all day.

If you’ve been to any hi-fi audio shows, you are in the one of highest 2 categories.

Depeche Mode - Violator on vinyl is actually one of my reference albums.

Lots of layering in the production that can be lost in a mediocre system.
