hi, dear.....but if you shut down first the Linto have the noise nuum jes or not ??

 

It's not at all uncommon to hear a thump or other brief noise if you shut down a preamplifier ahead of shutting down the amplifier.  Some more expensive preamplifiers protect against that phenomenon by employing a relay that clamps the output when power goes down, but not all do that.  Consequently, I always shut down amplifiers first.  In an extreme instance, you may damage a speaker otherwise.  Shut down amplifier first is your solution.

thanks to you for your answers

but that's not what I asked .. I didn't ask what turns off before.. .the amplifier or the Linto..

. I would like to know who has the LINTO mc phono if when he turns off the phono without turning off first the amplifier hears the noise bumb in the speakers.

 Thank you. Luigi

Dear @luigilamarca  :  I think that the precise answer could comes by Linn directly:

because maybe the problem could be between the Linto and the line stage where is connected , I don´'t know. In any case is better if you make the direct Linn contact:

The answer to your question is -

Nobody knows, because nobody would turn a phono stage off unless they either muted the preamp/amplifer, changed the input, or turned the preamp or amp off first.

I you change the input selector off of phono, and you get a thump the Lingo is putting a spike into the system on turnoff which should not happen in a competently designed component.

I do not know if the Lingo is competently designed.
