I completely agree with Al, (as usual). My preamp, (Modwright LS100) and my amp, (Sanders ESL) BOTH MUST be turned off and the amp allowed to drain off.
If I try to plug or unplug the RCA cable from preamp to amp with either on, it makes a gut wrenching, heart stopping, horrible noise and will usually blow the fuses in the amp.
IMHO, always turn off any component(s) that you are changing cables to.
