Noise when shutting off power amp? Help?


I have a Classe 100 power amp, and preamp, and when I shutdown the power to my system Power amp>preamp> source(in that order, which I believe is correct), I shut off the power amp first, and when it clicks off it sends a noise through to my speakers. Is this normal? I had a Rotel amp before this and it never made a sound. Should I just turn the volumn down on the preamp before I shut the power amp off?

Yep.... And if the preamp has a mute feature, mute the preamp before turning off the power amp.

Post back with your results.
Can anyone tell me why this power amp does this? Is this a common thing with Classe power amps. With the Rotel amp, it did not matter what the volumn was left at, it shut off completely quiet, never made any sound through the speakers.
