Powering on an SS Amp

Hi Guys, I just would want to know if it will be safe for me to Power On an SS Amp without the preamp and the speakers connected? Thank you.

Unless your bench testing/measuring. But never power up a tube amp without speakers, or resistive load attached, as sometimes they can go into oscillation which can take out the output transformers.
