How can I still hear my tuner when it's off?


With my amp and preamp on, if I set my preamp to tuner and crank the volume, with he tuner off, I can hear the signal; not at normal volume obviously. Anyone know why?

In case the question arises, if I move the selector to another input, it goes away.

What kind of tuner do you have? If it's a Magnum Dynalab, what you're describing is normal (although a bit disconcerting). I've owned several MDs and still use one today, all of which exhibit this phenomenon. I actually contacted MD and sent one piece back to them because of it, only to find out later that this was normal and MD was not even aware of it at the time.

Normally one would never notice, unless the volume was way up there, so I suspect most people do not even know this is common. Go ahead and enjoy the tuner and rest assured that it is probably working properly.
