Avalon AD2022 Preamp Question

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?

Sebatron vs. Pendulum vs Avalon? channel or pre

I am looking very hard at Sebatron right now for either a dual Pre 2000e VU or the Thorax channel strip. I have not made up my mind yet what my goal is. My DAW is SAW and the comp's and EQ on the channels are very very good so i am leaning towards a dual pre.
