Warming up equipment

Something  I learned from Steve Deckert ( Decware)......People warm their equipment up but don't warm their Speakers up before doing some serious listening. The voice coils in your speakers need to heat up and Expand before they will sound their best. Let your system warm up at lower volume levels with music being pushed thru your speaker system for 30 minutes before sitting down to a listening session.......try it...it makes a world of difference.

If I am going to listen to my Pass, I turn it on by itself in the morning.
Then, later, I turn it off briefly, turn on preamp (DAC and streamer are always on), then turn Pass back on.
Then play brown noise about an hour and sit down to listen.

I leave my system turned on 24/7 unless I am going away for awhile. Yes I agree with the recent posts. SS equipment usually requires no warmup time as far as stability is concern but do require time to open up. Tubes may take much longer for stability. Also keep in mind the operating class of the amp. I feel that leaving the system left on all the time can help extend the use then turning on and off, whether this is true or not.

To answer you question, components first and amp last. When turning off it is the opposite.

Mark Reno HiFi is right. I generally turn on my system in sequence from the upstream to downstream: streamer, DAC, preamp, and amp, and then the reverse order to turn off: amp, premap, DAC, streamer.  I let the sytem play at the lowest volume to warm up the entire system.
