I would turn on the preamp then your amp and never turn them off until you need to swap tubes or your amp quits, IMHO. Your ears will thank you.
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
