I'm not sure about the samson 1000 and art 351 (not even sure what they are -- the model numbers aren't familiar to me), but the 770 will have a trigger input. A little cord with 1/8" plugs (the small headphone plugs) on each end can connect the two so that the 770 will turn on when the 950 comes on.

If you are trying to turn on multiple devices when the 950 comes on (rather than just turning on the 770), you might look at a couple options: a macro on your remote that turns everything on (you'd still need to connect the 770 as described above, since it can't receiver a power on signal from a remote), or a power conditioner/surge protector with a trigger similar to the 770's that will switch some of its outlets.

You could use the Panamax 1000+ instead of the 2000. It is significantly cheaper and will still turn your amp on and off. I have been using one for about 3 years now.

Good luck

I don't know how Outlaw will be implementing the 12V trigger, but there can be problems with this. For instance, my Onkyo receiver will output 8V when the receiver is on, and remove voltage from the trigger when the receiver is off. However, the Proceed amp I was using wanted a pulse to turn on and a pulse to turn off. These two were incompatible, although it was possible to program a macro on a remote to "fix" this.
