More curious than a real question- remote trigger? Anyone use it?


So my amp can be switched on one of two way. Pushing the power button on the front or by connecting a short cable to the preamp and then using the preamp's remote to trigger the amp on.

I am sure other amps can be remotely turned on as well. Just wondering if anyone actually uses the remote trigger feature. I don't, but I tried it for a day or two for sh*ts and giggles. 

I have a straight forward 2 channel system. Perhaps if I were running a bank of amps, I could see the usefulness.

I have used it a lot, especially with complex setups. There really is no way it could effect sound. The only real possibility is if it triggered an independent path for line power, separate from the on/off switched path AND that path was in some bizarre way current limiting for the line in. I have never seen this, nor seen a schematic for such a separate, duplicate line in feed.
