With the warmup delay and standby mode that amp employs, I wouldn't worry about turning it on/off at all. Turn it off between sessions. Unless you turn off the switch on the back, the standby mode will keep filaments warm, so thermal shock is minimized. The Jolida FX10 is, more or less, designed to be in the standby mode when not listening.
