Switched outlet for power amp


Is it recommended to use a switched outlet for a power amp with a soft start feature? Or, should one simply use the power button on the amp itself, and deal eventually with wear and tear on its power switch?

Seriously, you have important things in life to worry about.

Turn your amp on when you want to hear it.

The amplifier would ideally have a 12 volt trigger that would power it up -after- all of the power-up transients from the pre-amp and sources have come and gone. Likewise the amp should be the first thing powered off. A soft start circuit is not advisable because ideally, the amplifier should handle that on its own. Power amplifiers that are well designed often include a mute circuit that cuts drive to the output stage until the rest of the amplifier itself is powered up and stabilized.

@sleepwalker65 ... I may have been unclear in my initial post. The amp does have a mute/soft start circuit of its own ... the switched outlet does not. I am curious as to whether using the amp through a switched outlet is advisable. Sorry for my lack of clarity.
