Perfectionist, I didn't realize the switch was on the back panel, a nice feature and good in my case. Any thoughts in the event of a power outage (like a midwest thunder storm) where everything goes out at the same time? Assuming the preamp is in standby mode, and that it is muted in that condition as Bigtee advises, a power outage should be no more risk than would normally apply for that situation with any equipment, should it? Thanks.
Calypso owners - question about muting & start-up
Is there a risk of a spike or DC output if the Calypso preamp is powered off from the standby position, while hooked up to a solid state power amp that is powered up? In other words, if the preamp is in standby and inadvertently turned off (maybe by another family member or housekeeper) before turning off the power amp, is there a risk of damaging the power amp, or does the Calypso mute output in the standby mode so that such damage would be unlikely? Thanks.
