I realise that there may have been some previous discussion re equipment warmup, leaving kit on all the time, etc., but I would be very interested to hear people's specific experience as to:
1) Typical warmup time from cold to achieve optimal perceived performance (various components, assuming already 'burned-in')
2) Effects, if any, of repeated switch-on/ off cycles on reliability/ longevity (I suspect this may attract some feedback on the RB-1080 fuse-blowing problem, although personally I haven't suffered from this)
3) Downside, if any, of leaving equipment permanently powered-up
In my own situation, it has proved impracticable to leave the system permanently on, as it is mounted within a wall-unit with fully-closing doors, which have proved necessary to be left fully open in use to avoid overheating. Since my wife feels that the doors shouldn't be left permanently open for reason of room aesthetics, and since all good marriages involve some compromise, we switch off and close doors when not in use. Another factor is I need somewhere to live!
Any thoughts and experiences to relate?
