Correct turn on, turn off sequence????

O.K. I have been into audio for about 10 years now and still don't have a definitive answer to this question. In what order should I power up/down. I always get a pop in my speaker when I turn off my amps. I have adcom 565 monos, 565 pre, rega cdp, all plugged into a power conditioner... If any of that matters. Thanks in advance for your help.

I usually start with a light dinner, a bottle of good wine and witty conversation for the turn on part. As for turn off, this is a bit more unpredictable, but mentioning your old girlfriend's name at the wrong moment will more often than not do the trick :-)

We are an anal bunch, aren't we??? Could you imagine if you average joe read this thread? Of course I understand the importance, but to the average person, they would probably think us insane... which, upon reflection, is ok by me :) aj
