When I owned my MC352 I use to keep meter off most of the time to save on bulbs life and avoid possible meter plastic (yellow) discoloration.
With C2300 and MC452 and Fiber Optic Light Diffusers and extra long life Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), I keep meters on when I play music, roughly 5+ hours per day. Shutdown, turn off all my components otherwise.
My Esoteric K-01 display I shut down automatically after 15 minutes of no usage and I remove every CD after I'm finished playing. From what I understand K-01 incorporate bulbs and not led. K-01 does not have standby mode so I shut it down manually.
Would love to know if there is an advantage in keeping Esoteric k-01 always on and McIntosh component on standby when not in use ?
