I was noticing that when I turn on my power strip/surge protector to get power to my AD2022, the channel 1 VU meter dances up and down real hard. Is this a problem, or can the preamp be damaged by this. Hell, the preamp doesn't have a pwer switch, and if I turn the input to lowest level, it still dances around. Any thoughts?
NOOOOOOOO! Do NOT let that happen! That little needle is easily

That little needle is easily broken, by allowing that to happen. Those needles are real (very, very-I might add) sensitive, and you need to find a way to keep "all that" jumping around to a minimum.
Turn it off first, before you turn everything else off.
I've never broke a needle off. But it is easily done, from what I understand.
