I heard from couple of sites that the pre- power amp should NOT be powered down immediately after playing for couple of hours.
I do not understand the reason behind it. Can someone explain the reason behind it please?
Thanks in advance.

You mean let them idle for a few hours after you have finished listening and then turn them off? That's a new one on me. I generally leave my gear on all the time. But I've never heard of letting a pre amp cool down. I can guess at a very "out there" reason but it is too extreme to be of any consequence.

Lately I do not turn anything off either, except the Tuner as I thought I might have been getting some bleed over from it. |

For just the pre(is it tubed?), I cannot imagine why.
My class A amps are shut down after use and warmed for 10 mins before use again. |
