In Reply to: Turning On Tube Amp With Cans Connected posted by AudioSoul on June 23, 2014 at 06:27:18:

A bit of noise at startup is almost inevitable with tube amps. With my Sonett tube amp, the initial rush of current creates an audible resonance that gradually disappears over the course of a minute, it's "dead quiet" after that.

I believe that the sound of "tube rush" is harmless, but as a precaution you might keep the volume knob turned down to 0 when not using the system so that transient noises cannot be transmitted to the headphones at startup.
