Correct turn on, turn off sequence????


O.K. I have been into audio for about 10 years now and still don't have a definitive answer to this question. In what order should I power up/down. I always get a pop in my speaker when I turn off my amps. I have adcom 565 monos, 565 pre, rega cdp, all plugged into a power conditioner... If any of that matters. Thanks in advance for your help.

When turning system on, you start with the sources, and follow the interconnects to the pre-amp then amp(last). When powering down,reverse order. Turn off closest thing to the speakers...amp first, then pre-amp, CD, tuner,other sources etc.Equipment sounds better when you leave on particularly if it has standby!!! Make sure you ALWAYS turn the source off LAST!!!if not left on all the time. Hope this helps. Steve
I had to think about think about it for a minute or two, its so habitual. But I think I do the amp on first and then off first. My stuff has tubes which are quikier warming up if that matters any. I always turn down the pre's volume knob too. I always get a slight deep turn on thump, but its never dramatic.
No, I do it off last too. ????? I've owned these things for four years. Its like riding a bike.
the above posts are correct but ALWAYS make sure the preamp volume controls are turned all the way down and the preamp is MUTED before turning it on and off and before turning the AMP on and off.
If your amps and preamp are SS leave them on 24/7.
I have Lamm M1.1's amps and, although they are mostly SS (only one tube) I turn them off because they draw a great amount of electricity even at idle and they also run very hot! I always turn them off first and I hear a pop coming from the speakers,but is normal:it is caused by the condensers releasing the current they accumulated during the operate mode:infact I noticed that if the amps have been on for a short time (e.g. less that 1 hour) the pop turns out to be not so loud.Finally, never turn off digital sources!! Hope it helps.
