Unplugging preamp, amp and cable while music is playing


I’m wondering what typically happens if you turn off the 1) preamp, 2) the amp, or 3) speaker cable while music is playing, say you accidentally stripped on the power cable of your preamp, amp or the speaker cable and they broke. Does any of these condition will cause any damage to any component for modern equipments?

Extra big pooper. I like kicking the wall plugs out too. I like when people jump start a car leave the battery charger hooked up and back up until they drag everything across the shop AS they talk on their cell phone, paying attention to NOTHING, including the little harpy on the phone screaming for their child support.

YUP..

If I were you, I'd make sure this doesn't happen ever, could be expensive. The amount of damage is dependent on the amount of rms power you have and which equipment is turned off or cable unplugged first.

Yup MC. If I wouldn't have seen it with my own EYE, I would have said it was straight out of Charly Chaplin flick. Except they didn't have cell phones. :-)
