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".

Thank you for the great suggestions above.  I ordered the TRC-Shock Shield protection device from Amazon.

Why not unplug all your gear after a power failure, then re-plug  when all is back to normal?

When I am home, I do unplug my equipment after a power failure. The problem is they usually occur when no one is home. 
The above device solves this problem.

Understand. Makes sense. Hope it works. Please re-post and let us know if it is successful. If so, it sounds like something many of us would be interested in. Thank you.

My components are all plugged into a power conditioner that is left turned off when I'm away.It's fuse will blow and protect everything if needed and it won't power anything up several times.Because it's off.
