Switching preamps in and out


I have three reference preamps in house. I need to decide on which one I like best. My question is: Do I need to power preamp,source and amp off before switching IC's to the next preamp? Is there a more efficient/faster way without putting any components in danger?

Elizabeth got it right. I find it difficult to switch from albums to CD's (and vice versa) in one listening session. The first source always sounds better than the second one.
