Use power conditioner to turn off amp

The power conditioner is the PS Audio Duet. The Unison Unico S6 integrated amp only can be turned on/off by its power switch. The reason I want to use the Duet to turn on/off the system is I'd like to minimize the wear and tear on the S6's switch and finish.

I use an APC Power Filter for this purpose.

Some power conditioners aew intended to turn on/off your entire system. Some even have adjustable power up/power down delay outlets. Google the APC G5 or G50NETB2 power filters for details.

Elizabeth...My ACE515 has a sequencing system that kicks in when you hit the front switch turning on the preamp circuits (and anything else in those non-power amp outlets) first, and waits 10 seconds before powering up the amp plugs, which is sort of a main point of the thing...that and filtering. When switched off, it turns the amp plugs off immediately and the other stuff 30 seconds later. Of the 2 cords on it, one is a 3 prong main cable and the other is a 2 prong "switching" cable to allow it be be activitated by the switched plug in some preamps (like Adcom preamps).

You are plugging an amp into a conditioner? Try removing the conditioner and just leaving your gear on all the time, you'll be much happier.
