Electrolytic capacitors are not like automobile spark plugs, oil filters or even light bulbs. They don't just screw in. I think that our definitions of "routine maintenance" might be a state of mind. If I can prolong the life of those capacitors by shutting down my gear when I'm not using it, then I think that makes more sense than whipping out the soldering iron or sending the gear out for servicing when I otherwise wouldn't have to.
If you use it 24/7, then keep it on 24/7. Otherwise, you're just wasting electricity and shortening the serviceable life of your gear. I think we can agree to disagree on this one, Fletcher.
