In addition to the excellent advice from the above posters, always remember LOFO (amp is last on, first off). Turn-on sequence should always be: source(s), pre-amp, amp. Turn-off sequence should always be amp, pre-amp, source(s).

Power on popping sound
Hi Everyone!
Why does the left speaker always make a "pop" noise when the amp powers up? Also, after preamp and amp are powered up there is a low buzz coming from the left speaker. Not sure if I can hear the buzz from the right speaker.
The left speaker also makes a "whoosh" sound when powering off the amp.
Getting paranoid about speaker damage.
Gear:
Speakers: Ologe 5 (Same thing happens with my LS 50 passives)
Amp: Forte Audio 1A
Temporary preamp: ADA Suite 8x8 - (I might pick up an Audible Illusion Modulus 2B but am open to suggestions.)
I also swapped in my Fostex HP A8 as a preamp and got the same popping and buzzing.
