Don't starve your amp but running through another device. Just leave it plugged in and on. Some amps supposedly benefit from keeping them on all the time (see the threads). If your preamp (and amp) has a 12 volt trigger you can use this approach too. I wouldn't sweat leaving a ss amp on -- much better option than going through the preamp! Or -- get some exercise turning on the amp!
Daisy-chain an amp or not
My question is to plug my Parasound HCA 1500 into one of the outlets in the back of my Carver preamp tuner and leave them amp on/off switch turned "on". When wanting to use the system, simply hit the remote to turn on the amp, and the preamp/tuner and cd. Turn it off the same way. Is this a solution to walking over and turning the amp on and off all the time, or will this result in some negative results?
Thank you
