Use power conditioner to turn off amp

The power conditioner is the PS Audio Duet. The Unison Unico S6 integrated amp only can be turned on/off by its power switch. The reason I want to use the Duet to turn on/off the system is I'd like to minimize the wear and tear on the S6's switch and finish.

I use an APC Power Filter for this purpose.

Some power conditioners aew intended to turn on/off your entire system. Some even have adjustable power up/power down delay outlets. Google the APC G5 or G50NETB2 power filters for details.

Elizabeth...My ACE515 has a sequencing system that kicks in when you hit the front switch turning on the preamp circuits (and anything else in those non-power amp outlets) first, and waits 10 seconds before powering up the amp plugs, which is sort of a main point of the thing...that and filtering. When switched off, it turns the amp plugs off immediately and the other stuff 30 seconds later. Of the 2 cords on it, one is a 3 prong main cable and the other is a 2 prong "switching" cable to allow it be be activitated by the switched plug in some preamps (like Adcom preamps).

You are plugging an amp into a conditioner? Try removing the conditioner and just leaving your gear on all the time, you'll be much happier.

I've plugged my amps into conditioners for many years after determining that they DO sound better that way and proving it to doubting friends. Depends on the conditioner/regenerator and, I suppose, the amps. Mine are currently (pun) PS Audio P10 and Tice Power Block III and the amps are SET monoblocks and powered subs.
