Stevecham's advice is a common practice and this is also recommended by some surge protection manufactures. Some Panamax and Monster's models offer " sequential on/off". To turn on: source(s), pre, amp and to turn off: amp, pre,sources. The logic is source(s) and pre need to be on first to be stablelized before amp being turned on. You can find some explaination about sequential on/off feature in Panamax surge protection.
In What Order Do You Turn On/Off Gear Separates ?
I know this was addressed in the last month or so but couldn't find the thread. In what order do you turn on/off the following gear:
Primary Preamp
Power Amp
Phono Preamp
Turntable
CD Player
I appreciate your consideration, and apologize for the repetitive question. I am new to the idea of separates, having been an owner of only integrated amps or receivers in the past.
