I just leave the adapter in the hole and push it all the way in before i shut it down. Why? Well, i like to:
1. Turn volume all the way down
2. Shut off speakers
3. Before i shut them ("them"being all amps and receivers that i own and jave owned) down.
This way, my speakers are not engaged when it powers up just in case of failure, and with volume down the switch doesnt take a current in rush. Is this true? Not sure, but its the way i was taught. Also, i run in aux mode 90%of the time. I dont leave fm engaged. I turn that selector to phono and kill the fm. Not sure if it helps save anything, just cant see keeping it powered when i dont use it. Its just maybe something unimportant, and im ok with it. Ive however only heard a speaker THUMP once in my 50 years.View attachment 1418083
Thanks for the tips. I'll buy a headphone plug and see what happens... I hope is not serious.
Here a pic of my 9001. Despite not being the best sound in my collection - not I that dislike it - it's by far the most beautiful !
