Use power conditioner to turn off amp

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.

I've plugged my amps into conditioners for many years after determining that they DO sound better that way and proving it to doubting friends. Depends on the conditioner/regenerator and, I suppose, the amps. Mine are currently (pun) PS Audio P10 and Tice Power Block III and the amps are SET monoblocks and powered subs.

I'm much happier turning my gear off when I'm not around (or overnight). For me the much discussed issue is simple: Leaving gear on 24/7 is wasteful self indulgence that yields very minimal or no sonic benefit and bugs the crap out of me. I've listened extensively with and without my trusty old ACE515 and it doesn't degrade anything. I might be lucky with that one. I do use a PS Audio Humbuster III to quiet amp transformers, and a couple of Pangea P100s that keep things stable and quiet, but after stuff warms up a bit it sounds great, and that's that.
