This is a topic I've never been quite sure of. I have some SS power amps that have not been operated in 20 years. Should I just plug them in and hope for the best or is there something I should be doing to bring them up slowly with a variac? What's the consensus? Any recommended procedure to minimize damage? Thanks, John |
