I use an adcom 515. In the instructions, it says that it is fine to use the power switch for the whole system. Many good quality line conditioners will have delays built in to soften the current spikes and "thumps" to your speakers.

They wouldn't put in a master switch unless it was designed to handle the units max current capabilities (I hope). Hey, try it and if you blow a fuse, you won't do it again. I doubt you will unless you have a MASSIVE system.
