WTF?

I use a Niles AC-3 triggered by my preamp 12v trigger output. Pricy but high quality:

https://www.amazon.com/Niles-AC3-FG00242-Voltage-Triggered/dp/B00086IDDC

I've seen it as low as about $120.00.

Issue with a front panel switch is the more 120v lines you have inside the amp the noisier the amp is likely to be. When building a WOPL we are very careful on where we route AC lines.

thanks that is interesting I did not know they made I wish I would have known about that yesterday when I had my friend order me a power strip he got one along with some other things I wanted to buy and I think it was 15 or 20 amps I 20 is most likely overkill but I wanted to if a 15 amp one was big/good enough

I use one of these for my 700B, yes the 700B has a built in power switch, but it is old and fragile. I do get a small pop on the speakers when I turn the receiver/amp off, nothing huge that I can't live with.

When turning off the amp, are you turning it off BEFORE the rest of the equipment? Last on, first off and you should not hear a pop. With a WOPL for sure

Amp is LAST on, first off. You'll have NO POPS. If it all comes up at once on a strip, I don't recommend this method. I'm not sure what you are talking about.

If you didn't get a new switch for the 700B, I'd suggest you contact me and get a new switch.

agree I was commenting on what billboard said what I was that I have ordered a strip it is 15 or 20 amps billboard had posted a link to a strip that had malti colored outlets on it and were also labled there one that said control three that said all ways on and three that were switched by the control outlet I have read and herd amp last on and first off is the best thing to do I did not mean to confuse any one

No problem. I know the 400's don't have a power switch. They should. You have to look long and hard to find an electronic device which DOESN'T have a power switch. Kinda cheesy if you ask me.

That ought to stir up a hornets nest.
