Power Amplifier is on last, and off first.
If you leave the amplifier on, any "POP" from another component, especially the preamp, will get amplified to your speakers. The same if anything is turned on after your amplifier.
power up and shut down
I feel foolish for posting this, but:
I recently purchased a new preamp (Fi Y) which has no mute switch. My previous preamp was an Audible Illusions Mod3, so I didn't have an issue with the "power up and shut down" procedure.
My question: Does it harm the speakers, or other components, to only turn the tubed preamp on and off, while leaving the solid state stuff running? (I'm using a Pass Aleph3 amp and it sounds so much better when I leave it on..).
What's the proper procedure for "power up and shut down"??
thanks.
