Power Up the System - What Do You Do?

I leave my system in idle when not in-use. I only kill the power when I know bad storm is comming or if I am out of town for few days. I have always disconnected my speaker cables before I start it back up and re-connected after system is completly powered up. This way the speakers don't get popped and eventually could cause damage. I am just curious how you start up your system.

Thanks.

If I'm playing something off my recording console, I power that up first; then the preamp, let the preamp tubes warm for a minute, then the power amp last, of course. I leave the CDP powered up. The TT of course gets turned on and off regularly.

I unplug my system if I'm leaving for any appreciable time.
