I have a question for those people who prefer to leave their
amps and preamps powered up all the time.  I should make it
clear that I agree with you, I was told by a friend who majored
in EE technology that solid state components are happier when
warm and dislike being powered up and down.  My question is:
Have you ever had any adverse reaction or damage to voltage
spikes which are very inherent in consumer power lines?
If not, how can this be avoided?  I do not keep my system
powered up at all times for fear of this.
