Shoud I be leaving my Carver amplifier switched on all the time or swithc
it
off when not in use?

**Switch it off, when you don't need it. There are several good reasons for
this:

1) Warm up time for that amp is around 10 seconds.
2) Keeping it switched on will keep electrolytic caps warm. This will
accelerate wear.
3) Keeping it switched on will expose the amp to any power line surges.
4) You will assist in keeping greenhouse gases down a little.
