How can I still hear my tuner when it's off?


With my amp and preamp on, if I set my preamp to tuner and crank the volume, with he tuner off, I can hear the signal; not at normal volume obviously. Anyone know why?

In case the question arises, if I move the selector to another input, it goes away.

your tuner may still be on electrically, but the display and output section is "muted" but still "leaking" enough signal to hear it. If you can still change stations, that is probably the case. Some products are built like this to retain memory, always be "warmed up", etc... One of my preamps has an on/off switch that doesn't work as you think it would. All the switch does is turn off the accessory outlets, as the preamp is always on.

What happens if you disconnect power from the tuner at the plug ? This will tell you if the tuner is still actively on somehow or if the tuner is somehow bringing in RFI. Sean
