Switched outlet for power amp

"Just turn it on"

 And you thought  my response wasn't "audiophile ' worthy?

He probably  didn't preface it similarly, though,  huh?

@tablejockey ... No, he didn't. He prefaced it politely, respectfully, and without sarcasm.

No offense meant. I find great knowledge/experience here.

Also, I don't take answers to my queries personal, and can laugh at myself when audio neurosis takes over, without me realizing.

Your question was an example. It begged for my response.
Your equipment was thoughtfully spec'd with the soft start, worry about the switch?

The clap on,clap off, guys get it.

@tablejockey ... no offense taken. It’s all good and you were correct ... in retrospect, I really did ask somewhat of a dumb question; however, since the amp is brand new, I’m still in that early "OMG" period of paranoia. I trust that, too, shall pass like a bad burrito.

Yup - just use the switch on the amp. You may want to see if there is any record of switch failure - ask the manufacturer (I had one class A amp that had such a turn on current surge that it kept welding the switch contacts together, but I doubt it happens much any more).
