I switched on my amp from standby mode before my pre which is automatically muted for the 1st 60 seconds for the tubes to warm up. On powering down, I switched off the amp to standby mode and then the pre. So far, no noise,thump or pop.....
correct way to turn off tube preamp
I recently purchased a tube preamp. My other equipment is SS which I leave on 24/7. From what I have read I don't want to leave the pre on all the time. When done listening is it ok to put the amp in standby mode, then turn off the pre?,, or should I turn off the pre--leaving the amp on and then going to standby mode on the amp. When I do the latter I get a very samll 'thump' heard through the speakers. Thank you.
