You sure, Ken? What with the Tjian transition coming up at work, who knows whether ENS West will exist a year from now....  Ok, that was mean.

That ain't nice, man. So about the trigger thing...
I'm looking at the power options, and I see that the idle draw on the receiver is 120W (!), while the idle on the amp is 30W. Receiver doesn't list standby draw (I'll have to get out the kill-a-watt for that), but the amp is 4W.
I'm thinking if I can get the trigger to operate on the amp, then I can have that trigger the EP350. The EP350 manual says the power switch must be in the off position for the trigger to work. That means a power savings over having the sub in standby, does it not? Alan?

EP350 manual says the power switch must be in the off position for the trigger to work. Are you quite sure about that? That would be different than EP500 (you do need power to light up the LED red instead of green!).

From the manual:
TRIGGER IN (3.5mm MINI-Jack): This is for any 8-Volt
to 18-Volt power-on trigger. It is also intended for triggercontrolled
operation with future Axiom products. NOTE: THE
POWER SWITCH MUST BE OFF FOR THE TRIGGER TO
OPERATE.

Mark, I'm crushed that you didn't consider my answer(and generous offer)to you in the Emotiva thread to be "really" one.

Well, darn, I've solved my 12V trigger problem. I think I'm going to try it on the EP350 first, perhaps once I hear back from Alan. Another issue is that I need this to be reliable--read easy to use. If my wife wants to watch TV (it all runs through the receiver), she should have to get up to turn on the amp, or fiddle with it, or anything. And I don't want to leave it on. I assume if I can get the trigger to work properly, this'll take care of it. BTW, what I'm thinking of doing is getting the ratshack 3-12V AC adapter with the adapter to a 1/8" miniplug . Then I'd plug that into my receiver's switched outlet. Y'all think that makes sense?

It was both informative AND funny!  Sorry to you too, Ken as I don't have an answer! I'll get out of the way with my OT stuff, though!
