Our stereo components work hard on our behalf creating music. Is it necessary or desired to let them rest and get their strength back after a weekend off?

Are preamplifiers needed in a stereo system? Why not just put their guts into a power amplifier and have one unit for fewer boxes and a shorter signal path?
