12v triggered outlet?


Where can I get a audio level 12v triggered outlet. I want to use the 12v trigger to turn on my tube amps and sub(of course the amps and sub don't have a 12v trigger) so I need to switch power on to them.

Thanks for starting this thread, Programmergeek.
(Interesting moniker, btw).

I too want to have a remote (or even a wired) 12V trigger to turn on my Lamm M2.1 amps. They are wired for such a trigger, but my Ayre K-1xe does not have such an output.

Any thoughts?
I am in the exact same boat as Mitch2, as I don't want anything between my amps and the dedicated power outlet.
(And my Ayre K-1xe is always on, and all I have to do is unmute it, to bring it on-line.)

(And, I can't imagine that any of these sort of power switching units have audiophile grade components in them. And even if they did, why would I want to add another layer of electronics between my amp and the power source?!)

This seems like such a simple thing to have, I am surprised that none of the audiophile companies have produced such a device.
Thanks Mitch2!

(And I did get your email. Actually, I had emailed Lamm something earlier this week too, but did not get a response from them, which is quite unusual, as they usually respond fairly quickly. Perhaps they thought your email was a followup to mine, and figured they were responding to the same person.)

Yeah, the switch is somewhat difficult to reach, and now that I have gone from the small, thin Audience AU24 speakers cables, to the large and wide Jena Labs Pathfinder cables, getting to that rear switch has gotten even more difficult.

I appreciate you trying this out and then getting back to me!
