What are the Do's & Donts on Hi Fi components

Just wanted to know what are the basic rules for operating good Hi Fi gear.
Ive been told that its best to turn your cd player on before your amp & to turn off your amp before the cd player ?
Is this correct ? Any other tips ?

Cheers,
Peter

DO have a goal when establishing yer gear, and dont just buy the latest and greatest.
Make sure your gear works good together, or you might have a 20k system that you have a hard time enjoying

Also, dont get a roomate that totally screws you over, or you might have to sell yer whole rig like me.

Leave all you stuff on all the time -- sounds better. I've also heard that turning the stuff off and on causes more wear and tear than leaving it on all the time.

Do experiment with speaker placement. When you get close to hearing your speakers disappear into a soundstage, and with your rig they should, don't make large adjustments. Do check out other cables and power cords when given the chance, the right ones really enhance the experience.
