A quick questions is there a correct order to both?

I usually turn on the preamp first then the amp and then the reverse when powering down.

One thing that is a concern though, when I don't turn the power off right after listening to whatever there is sometimes a pop that can be heard through the speakers.

Thanks, Chris

Question for you recording guys

I have a few recordings on disc that seem to be ever so slightly out of synch and I was wondering what causes this and if it is intentional or a product of poor reproduction.

What is going on when I can hear the track begin just a split second before it actually comes in? I'm talking about an extremely low in level jump the gun kinda thing? Is this some sort of ambience enhancement attempt or what? This has me curious and I have always wanted to ask somebody what was going on. Thanks in advance.

Accordion Guy's Disappointed in Margot Timmins

Joey deVilla, <I>aka</I> Accordion Guy in the 21st Century, is disgruntled (trust me, Accordion Guy is at his best when he's not gruntled). His beef? The fundraising dinner held last night for Canadian MP Sam Bulte, <I>aka</I> Hollywood's MP, because of the perhaps coincidental linkage between her advocacy of extremely restrictive copyright legislation and her acceptance of financial support (57% of her campaign war chest) from institutions such as the Canadian Motion Pictures Distributors Association, Canadian Publishers Council, and the Entertainment Software Alliance.

Mark Twain vs Tom Sawyer

I love Twain and view UC/Berkeley's Mark Twain Project to print <I>everything</I>. ever written by Sam Clemens (even down to the individual drafts) as God's own work. Yet, like many readers (including Ernest Hemingway), I've always had a problem with <I>The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</I>'s final chapters&mdash;say, around the time Tom Sawyer highjacks the novel.

Does HT surround-sound only need to be "good enough?" According to a new NIH-sponsored study, "the circuits in the brain that process auditory information are influenced powerfully by the circuits that control where the animal is looking&mdash;the animal's direction of gaze." Umm, the animal being, for the purposes of this study, a barn owl.
