A Ghost in the System? Music Thru Speakers with Preamp Disconnected


I disconnected my preamp yesterday completely from my system in order to install some constrained layer damping tape.  The DAC was on and receiving music, but the signal chain between the power amp and the dac was completely broken due to the preamp being removed.  BUT:  I could hear very low volume, but very clear, music playing thru the speakers!  And no, I was not intoxicated.  How is this possible?  Cool stuff.  Thanks.

Granted it is not easy to tell the April Fool’s from the normal everyday variety. I have to work very hard at it. One even has a whole entire website, a veritable shrine, the Las Vegas of Fool’s. But I can’t complain. At least not today. The other 364 days though....
Stuff like this happens all the time. For some reason though it tends not to be reported until April 1st.
