Default Leave Adcom GFA-585 Turned on?

I have my Adcom on Always, other than the electrical bill being higher, are there any reasons to turn the Amp off when not in use?
Will is cause the transistors or any part of the amp to have a higher failure rate?
(I have the amp hooked up to and Apple Airport express, and have my lossless collection of over 200k songs just a finger push away on my iphone)

Electrolytic capacitors tend to have the shortest life, can be as low as 1000 hours.
Best to leave amp off if possible when not in use.
