More curious than a real question- remote trigger? Anyone use it?

So my amp can be switched on one of two way. Pushing the power button on the front or by connecting a short cable to the preamp and then using the preamp's remote to trigger the amp on.

I am sure other amps can be remotely turned on as well. Just wondering if anyone actually uses the remote trigger feature. I don't, but I tried it for a day or two for sh*ts and giggles. 

I have a straight forward 2 channel system. Perhaps if I were running a bank of amps, I could see the usefulness.

I use the remote trigger on both my McIntosh and Audia Flight systems.  I like the convenience of turning everything on with a single push of a button.  After all, if I'm turning on the preamp, the amp is going to be turned on anyway.

So as to the question about sound quality, no, the trigger switches do not affect sound quality.

However, I like to leave my main amps on 24/7. A lot easier on the planet with Class D. :)

Best,

I use a trigger…finger…it's part of my hand, and it does have an effect on the sound as it can be used for level adjustment, utilized with other fingers (also part of my hand, of which I have 2) it can move things around, and will allow most components to be turned on and off. Other uses are, frankly, none of your business.
