It really is a good idea. Better safe than sorry. I always do. Just not worth the risk. With speaker cables its easy to short out the contacts.
Should the power be off every time changing cables?
I’m experimenting different IC and speaker cables.
Powering on and off to power amp, preamp, and other components each time changing cables is really bothering, because I need to wait 10 minutes or so between power on an offs.
I wonder I still need to turn off the power amp when I change IC cables between preamp and components.
What kinds of cables can be changed with power amp on?
I have a Plinius power amp and preamp.
Thx
