Need Device to Keep electronics off when power comes back

Is there a device that will keep my electronics OFF when the electrical power comes back?  My electronics (a Music Server, DAC and integrated amplifier) will turn back on when the power returns if they were on when power failed.   I do not want them to turn back on, on their own, when power is restored.   This is because often when power fails, it will attempt to restore power several times and then fail again.

I am looking for something that I can plug the unit into and then put this into the outlet.  Does such a device exist?  I am looking for a breaker box that will trip when power fails and require resetting manually.   In other words, when electrical power is stopped, all my electronics will be shut off until I manually reset them.

Furman reports "they do not make a product like this.   All of our products will come back on after a power outage".

If you read through the q&a s to this product...you will see that the manufacturer as well as several users say that it requires a manual reset after a power outage...and since everything from amazon is easily returnable...it is probably worth a try.

@snapsc,  This device seems like it will do exactly what I need.   I need to review the details.   Thank you very much.

The device you seek is called a fuse. Simply select a value just low enough to blow when everything comes on at once. Then buy a pack for $5. Problem solved.

A fuse. 

In that position of an amplification or audio system.

You are kidding me, right?

Best bet is a combined filter and power divider block, that is designed to not power a system up after power failure. A sequenced system box, a programmable, or switchable one. Fairly common.

Belden, monster, ps audio, you name it. A device where you have to manually reactivate it after power is lost, or after being shut down.
