How do you control the switching of those outlets? The advantage for me is that I don't have to get up, walk over to the system, open a cabinet door, and manually turn on the switched outlets on the power conditioner before I can hit the "ON" macro on my remote that turns on the pre-amp, TV, and cable box. The power amps are on switched outlets on the power conditioner that are then turned on automatically by the 12V trigger signal from the pre-amp. For that to all work, I need the pre-amp in standby.
