I was taught to turn on the Pre-Amp first - then turn on the power amp,
and when powering down, to reverse the order - Power amp first and pre-amp second.
IIRC - it is because - unless the Pre-Amp is capacitor coupled - there can be a DC transient that will flow through the outputs - and artifact of the pre-amp dissipating - I am not sure if the REASON is correct - however I have maintained the practice (irrespective of the Pre-amp output coupling) and not had a problem yet - KNOCK ON WOOD....
Sorry to hear of your loss-
Happy Listening
