Turn on amp w/o speakers


Is this harmful? turning on poweramp without any speaker wires connected.

it is harmful to most tube amps but not harmful to most solid state amps - is my minimal response
my amp maker tells me to adjust the bias without the speaker leads connected. it is a tube amp
Be very careful with NuForce amps. Powering up without the speakers connected (or some sort of resistive load) will burn up internal components. I know people who have had this happen.
