harrylavo, thank you. I wouldn't call myself a 'green' person but I am not wasteful. If the power consumption is low (manual says 150W...which means nothing to me) I'll certainly leave it on standby. Plus, the power button is tiny and out of the way. The 'standby' button is huge.
Turning off tube preamp first sends solid state amp into protection?
I have been experimenting with using a vintage Luxman CL40 valve preamp as a separate preamp stage for my L-509X integrated. Because I leave the solid state amp on 24/7, I accidentally turned off the preamp while the 509X was still in Separate mode. The integrated immediately went into protection mode with the power light blinking. I powered it down into standby mode, then brought it back up and it remained in protection mode. It wasn't until I unplugged the 509X and plugged it back in that everything was cool.
Did I do any potential damage here? What it it happens again? It's pretty easy to accidentally turn off the preamp when I'm leaving the 509X on all the time.
