Agreed with audioman58.
I would always turn on the source components first, then preamp, then power amp last. And when shutting down my system I would always power off the power amp first, then preamp, then source components last. it’s dead silent, no thump.
That thump is DC still on the line like what audioman58 described above.

Carvin Audio Explanation. Substitute Preamp for Mixer. "THE RIGHT ORDER TO TURN THINGS ONBefore anything else, let’s review the power up sequence for a common live sound scenario. Power up in this order:
Some power controllers have sequenced power banks that do this for you. |
I've always read proper turn on sequence is: 1. Preamp along with everything connected to it. 2. Amp. Shutdown is the opposite BUT..... My preamp is connected to my amp with a wire that turns both on at the same time when you do a startup with the preamp remote control. Neither the preamp nor the amp instantly come on, there's a few seconds of delay. You can here a click in each when they actually power on. I assume this makes the startup procedure okay? Just want to be sure, thanks.
