accidental power down....any damage???

help......my system was up and running at a moderate volume level, when my daughter accidentally shut off the power button on my preamp, and the turned it back on. I was upstairs when this happened, so I couldnt hear id any abnormalites took place. It may just be my imagination, but right afterwards the system sounded a little thinner, with not as much dynamics, and it seemed to need more gain. Could something have gotten damaged???? My system is:
Pass x250 amp
Rogue 66 magnum pre
Shanling t-100 cd
Martin Logan Ascents
Sumiko project wood classic tt
When this occured, the system was playing a cd.
I just shut it down after a few minutes of playing afterwards. Has anyone experienced this??
Thanks in advance.................

I doubt if anything bad has happened. I have a bi-amped system
using a pair of quicksilver KT-88 monos for mid & high freq.
our power being supplied by the electric Company is so undependable it has gone out while the system was playing and before I could get to the power switch(seconds) the power came
back on. NO DAMAGE - however that will shorten tube life
As a result I went out and bought 2 APC battery back ups
It never has been problem since
