Toggling Integrated Amp Input During Music Playback


I have multiple source components hooked into my Musical Fidelity M6si. If upon listening to source A, I change my preference and decide to listen to source B, I lower the volume completely, toggle the input and then raise the volume once again.

However, after a recent acquisition of new gear (Schiit Yggdrasil), in order to more accurately do an A/B comparison, I elected to toggle inputs (any, i.e. between RCA1 -RCA2 ,RCA3-XLR, etc.) while the volume is raised (say 85db or so levels, 9 O'Clock on the volume dial). My amp in no way "complained" as I did so.

I'm just wondering if there is a technical problem that could result in damaging the amplifier by doing this. I liken to the question to playing a spot frequency tone at loud volume and damaging a speaker.

All input is welcome. Thank you.

Having the volume control in the same position only works if the sources you are using have the same output voltage. Have you checked that? Higher voltage means more volume at the same position of your pot.
