In Reply to: Does the followin compoent have to be switched on, for signal to flow through the PREceeding component? posted by andyr on August 16, 2015 at 13:06:33:
"Anyway, I am currently running in a phono stage by feeding it with a tuner, via a Hagerman reverse RIAA board. The following component in the signal chain is my preamp so my question is ... does this have to be switched on for the signal to be 'passing through' the phono stage and 'exercising' it?"
As long as your phono stage still "sees" a load, you're OK. Most line stages still provide a load when switched off. (But there are always a few exceptions.)
One issue of concern, however, is that the line output of the tuner is FAR higher in amplitude, relative to that of a phono cartridge. (This could speed up your "run-in" time.) If it's a moving-coil input, you might also be loading down the tuner's output with a low input impedance (~100 ohms). Tuners are intended to drive line inputs, whose input impedance is usually 10 kohms or greater.
