I am sure some people leave their tube gear on 24/7 ,I power on my tube equipment the preamp first I wait a couple of minutes and then power up my power amp, I then wait and power up my sources and then I give everything about 15-20 mins before I sit down to listen.Seems to me leaving tube gear on 24/7 shorten the life of the tubes and if something fails could lead to real trouble.
