Standby mode... damage?

[newfiesig]

Hi guys, help me settle an argument with a friend.

Does leaving the Mark V in standby mode overnight hurt anything? Or is it simply 15 hours of tube wear?

No damage unless something was ready to fail or there's a power surge. Otherwise it's just an extra 15 hours on components that were rated for thousands of hours. I think most of us have done it.

Awesome, thanks.
