What are the Do's & Donts on Hi Fi components

Just wanted to know what are the basic rules for operating good Hi Fi gear.
Ive been told that its best to turn your cd player on before your amp & to turn off your amp before the cd player ?
Is this correct ? Any other tips ?

Cheers,
Peter

My preference (with all solid state gear that is not class A and therefore not hot during idle) is to leave it all on all of the time, with the volume at minimum and an unused input selected.
It is only turned off if I'm away for a few days or if there's an electrical storm.
When turning on work from the source towards the speakers, as you stated.
