I use an Adcom ACE 515 I bought new that refuses to die...and works prefectly. Also, back in the late 70s my band was filling in an "off night" for a band that allowed our keyboard player to use their gigantic tri-amped rig...with specific instructions about the turn-on/turn-off sequence (amp on last, off first) that our keyboard player promptly forgot when turning it off. Oops...burnt out the whole rig and cost our keyboard player some serious clammage.
Power On First/Off Last Device?
Good people: I have a system with a tube preamp, power amp, dac and cdp. I know that I need to turn my power amp off first and on last and my preamp off last and on first. I realize this can be accomplished by actually pushing the power buttons on each device manually in te correct order, but as Americans we're too lazy to do so and seek to accomplish the above by flicking a single switch. Is there an inexpensive power strip which allows one to reverse the order in which devices are turned on and off? Thanks in advance for you help.
