Is it possible to remote on a tube amp


Is it at all possible to remote turn on a tube amp without hurting it. What I am considering is a power conditioner to remote power a tube amp!

Thanks

I use a Monster HTS-2500 with my CJ amps and the remote features work just fine. The conditioning helps quite a bit as well (I have very noisy AC), however its easy to tell when the current draw gets beyond what the conditioner can reliably provide. At low volumes its never an issue, but when I crank it up a bit the sound becomes noticeably grainy. I continue to use it for the convenience of remotely powering on/off the system, but at some point I'll have to think about moving to more robust power source.

Aside from the issue of limiting current, you would lose any power up standby capabilities that your amp might have. Let's see, you get up and turn the amp on to listen. Get up and turn the amp off when you are done. I can understand people wanting remotes for pre-amps and CDP's with vloume controls. But a power amp? I don't get it. But, hey, whatever floats your boat.
Actually, I value the remote more for powering off than on. When I'm finished listening, its nice to press a single button and have the entire system power down reliably (which in my case means sequentially) without having to fuss about with the 5 pieces of gear that need tending to. Often, I'm ready to head off to bed when I'm through and have quite a bit less patience with the equipment than when I first turn it on. Its certainly not a necessity, but I do appreciate the convenience.

Conrad Johnson Premier Tube Preamps have remotes, so I assume they work with Tube Amps. Try to eMail CJ or your amps manufacturer to see what they think.
Ken if you want to power down sequentially, won't doing by remote via your power conditioner turn everything off at the same time? I know what you mean about those late night listening sessions, as every once and a while I forget putting it back into standby, the final step in my sequence. Doh!
