Sorry I should explain a bit better, have a possibile full ARC combo I'm thinking of going into, with a choice of the following amps; D200,D240,D300,100.2 or 150.2 to mate with the LS 3. Since there is no stand by to place the amp into (in some cases) this is where my question origionates from. I would put the pre into mute first and then start the amp but in the afore mentioned case that's where I got the popping when I muted even with the volumn turned down to it's lowest point before doing so. Aso at that time I was using A Proceed transport/dac combo where this time it will be an ARC CD 3. I hope this helps to make a better evaluation of the problem now.
would it still
Tried out an ARC LS 3 pre amp a bit ago mated to an Aragon 2004 amp but, using the mute control on the LS 3(when starting up and shutting down) produced a poping in the Apgoee speakers even though the sound was great with the 2004/LS 3! I didn't have any trouble with the Aragon 18K pre I was using with the 2004 at the time. Flash forward, I've since had the house rewired (new box to proper code now) and am thinking about an LS 3 again but this time mating with an ARC amp.
Should I be in fear that the same thing would happen still again (popping the speakers)? I don't want to incur any damage to the speakers and my outlets are properly grounded and incorperate Oyaide outlets now. Knowledgeable opinions would sure help me out! Thanks :{
