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.

The remote trigger was used mainly in home theater installations where amps might be hidden or even in another room.  Most  'philes I know with strictly 2 channel systems don't use that feature...
my friend just hooked up his Pass X250.8 and XP-20 that way, and is quite happy with it...

Nice!
It's particularly useful for high power, multi-channel.

Nice to be able to turn off the surround/center amps when only listening to 2 channel.

Some power conditioners will also do this for you in case your amps do not.

Best,
