So my system can either be put in "standby" mode with the remote or fully turned off by pressing the buttons on the preamp, amp and CD player. The manuals only say that if I am not going to be listening to it for "a long time" then I should fully turn it off, otherwise leave it in "standby."
Im just wondering: what is "a long time"? Should I be turning it fully off every night before I go to sleep? Or only when I am leaving town for a couple of days?
I have Rotel componenets, RC-1550, RB-1072 and RCD-1072. I have even heard that solid state amplifiers SHOULD be left on for many days at a time and that their sound actually IMPROVES over that period of time being left on. Please help!
