It occurs to me that most musicians are interested in sound quality.
However, some audiophiles are more interested in the science of sound
rather than actually listening to music, and I find this very dull.
You can tell people like that if they spent a lot on hi-fi but don't
have any good records, or choose records because they show off the
equipment rather than because they like the music...

As I understand it, cheaper amps have a built-in anti-thump circuit,
but audiophile amps don't because it would interfere with the signal
path. So I'd recommend always dropping the power amp level to zero
before rebooting your box.
Cheers
