Sometimes you need to leave the room for 5-10-15-20 minutes. Is is better to turn the tube amp OFF (in this case a Dynaco ST-70) to save tube life, or keep it ON to minimize inrush current/start-up tube stress?
While I'm here, what about the AR-XA turntable I've been running lately? Better to NOT stop and start it when flipping/changing records, to minimize belt stretching? (I don't have the same concern with the TD-124)
Or maybe the concern isn't really warranted? FWIW, I'm inclined to just keep em ON...
