I was told the correct way to turn off audio equipments is turning off the amps first and then the preamp.
But if I were keep the amps on 24/7, it is safe to just turn off the preamp especially a tube preamp?
Thanks for your recommendations.

Always turn the amp off first and the amp on last
I guess that's why all of my 30+ year old power amps DAC is on and no music is playing, I get a very soft snap.

A 4 or 5 watt tube amp can be loud when cranking it to get natural distortion.
If headroom is what you want, 50 watts will get you quite a bit mic'd up .

On the ever long quest to find more tube gear I often wonder what stuff I have walked past that might have been a sleeper. I recently picked up a Silvertone 29 and am very impressed with it. What other underrated gear have you guys picked up?
