I've mistakenly turned my pre off twice while the amp was still on and both times blew the fuses for both channels of the amp. I always turn the pre on first...let it warm up for about 30 secs and also make sure the 'Mute' is on , then power on the amp. When turning the system off I hit the 'Mute' on the pre first, then turn the amp off and wait about 20 secs for the caps to discharge, then turn the pre off.
solid state amps matched with tube pre amp
Greetings,i just purchased a DeHavilland Ultra Verve preamp.It was a demo unit and im missing the page in the manual for start up and shut down,but was sent a ditto saying that the pre must be turned on first and the amp shut down first or serious damage to amp can happen.I usually leave my solid state amp on all the time.Is this the rule for tube preamps matched with ss amps.
thanks
