Hi,
I went down a rabbit hole of audio questions after getting a new mixer and I learned that some guys leave their mixers powered on and their other analog equipment powered on for years, sometimes a decade more. I was wondering, because the MPC 4000 is so old, would it benefit from being on more to save itself from the constraints of power cycling? Sure its not even a point of discussion with modern power supplies and units, but for these older units (mpc 60, 3000, 4000, 2000, 2000xl) could they benefit more from being powered on long periods of time if they are going to see near daily use?
