My metronome C6 preamp (with tubes) is always on “stand-by” when I don’t play. The Wavac 805: after listening:”off”. To put on your equipment: first Source, than préamp, than Poweramp. For turning off: first poweramp,than preamp an at last: the source.
When to Poweroff amps and preamps
I apologize if this has been asked before but I haven’t been able to find it. What is recommended for when to turn off the power to amplifiers and preamps? What if you’re going to be using the equipment within a day or so...power it off completely, put it on sleep if that’s available, leave it on? What if you’re not going to use it for a longer time...a couple of days? A week? Are there different recommendations for solid state and tube equipment? I’m interested in both getting the best sound and prolonging the equipment life.
