Yes, I agree with all the above responses. Always turn on your amps last, and turn off your amps first. Otherwise, at the least, your speakers and your ears will let you know that you've done something terrible. When I warm up my amps before playing music, I will still turn off the amps momentarily, turn on the tube preamp, then turn on the amps again. Sigh.........life with tubes. Can't live with them, can't live without them. Have fun. You get used to it.
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
