Good Afternoon,
While my title may be confusing here's what I want to do. I have a 12B4 preamp that I built years ago and absolutely love. It's since been moved to my living room. I always turn the preamp on and let it warm up for a bit before amps come on. I'd like to automate that feature of the safety of my gear.
Is there a simple circuit that can be built to disconnect preamp outputs during warm-up, and would open fast enough to limit/eliminate turn-off pop during shut down?
The more I think about this the more I wonder if I should be adding a delay to the amp turn-on circuit and leave the preamp as-is if there's no logical solution.
If this has been covered before please link me as I am not totally sure of the terminology.
Thanks everyone.
