This may be a silly question, but I've been thinking a lot about this. When I go out, I'm in doubt whether I should turn off all the gear on my studio. My laptop goes to sleep, my HD too but I don't know if I should turn off the Motu Ultralite. Is it bad for it, turning it off and on several times a day? Is it going to be worse (for durability) doing this then just leaving it on the whole day then powering it off at night? THANKS!

PS: Another question - how does the Genelec monitor 8040 compare to the 8030 with a 7050 sub? Anyone has listened to both of these set-ups?
