In What Order Do You Turn On/Off Gear Separates ?


I know this was addressed in the last month or so but couldn't find the thread. In what order do you turn on/off the following gear:

Primary Preamp
Power Amp
Phono Preamp
Turntable
CD Player

I appreciate your consideration, and apologize for the repetitive question. I am new to the idea of separates, having been an owner of only integrated amps or receivers in the past.

I have a similar problem. I have a Bel Canto power amp that should be left on at all times. I also have a Rotel CD/HDCD player and a modified Dynaco Pas tube preamp that should be turned off. I turn the CD player off, and then when I turn the preamp off, there's a small pop, and then a slight continious buzz that won't go away while the preamp is off. The buzz does go away when I turn the preamp on though. I assume the slight continous buzz is ok for the speakers?
