My Adcom 535 (which probably has oldie-but-goodie status by now) is plugged into one of the remote-controlled sockets of a Panamax power center with the trigger signal coming from the 990, so when the 990 turns off, so does the 535. The 990 draws power on standby of course, but not the 535. I thought that was the point of connecting power amps to remote controlled sockets. The setup works fine. Is there some point here that I'm missing?
