What are the Do's & Donts on Hi Fi components


Just wanted to know what are the basic rules for operating good Hi Fi gear.
Ive been told that its best to turn your cd player on before your amp & to turn off your amp before the cd player ?
Is this correct ? Any other tips ?

Cheers,
Peter

The turn on/off sequence is correct, but I've never owned a CDP that made any turn on/off noise, so at least in my case it is inconsequential. The preamp, otoh, is much more naughty.

To add a tip - turn your amp off before un/hooking your speaker cables.
