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?
Some power amp will not turn on and only at standby mode when AC power apply to it, you still need to push the front power switch to bring it out from standby, and probably the soft start circuitry is built in.
Well, I took the advice and asked the designer of the amp. Here's his response ... "Just turn it ON when using, then turn OFF. You might turn it on a few minutes earlier, but even that I don't think is required." As an audiophile, simplicity eludes me at times.
