There is good reason to leave a system on so as to not excessivly

expose junk science reasoning. For example, power switch is
typically rated for 100,000 cycle: seven times every day of the year
for .... 39 years. IOW worry about something that is totally
irrelevant.

"junk science"... so how come when I just turned on my Audiotron there
was a loud bang and a smell of smoke? The power supply has blown... the
exact same thing happened to my other Audiotron a few months back (a
replacement PSU fixed it).

The unit has been running fine for months, it was only turned off while
I moved it to a new location.

"w_tom" (why can't you people use your real names?) is invited to learn
about posting etiquette and understand why you shouldn't top-post
(except perhaps in a Microsoft group), and why you should trim quotes.
