There is one slight danger in leaving any amp permanently switched on.  A
friend of mine has it in his head that his HiFi sounds better if it is kept
"warm" all the time, so he leaves it switched on all the time.  The only
disadvantage is a slight increase in his electricity bill (or so he
thought).  Then one night there was a serious spike in the power supply
which blew both the poweramp and preamp....  He complained to the
electricity company but got nowhere.
