You'd also have to watch those remote controlled outlets. Many of them are not rated for the kind of current an amp would pull.

From what Zimm wrote back, the amp does not. And in my case, neither does my receiver. (Denon 3808)
It has an outlet on it, but not one into which you'd want to plug a 4 million watt amp like Zimm is using. Yep, I thought about plugging it into my Denon, but that seemed rather...well lazy. Risking some electrical issue so I wouuld not have to flip a switch once at the start of the session and once at the end seeme just too much. Now, if it was stored in a closet or something, I would likely find some work around.

No, no triggers. Again, this is a $400 amp. All the money is in the power supply, no frills. If you step up to the higher models from QSC you get all those fun toys - but the THX certified cinema line adopts the pricing of your regular Krells and Brystons.
No thanks.

There is a device that can plug into the back of your receiver and it would trigger your amp, It comes with different ends for different types of trigger inputs. I bought one a Best Buy a while back. I beleive they are called power converters. If you do buy one make sure it has the right connector for your particular trigger.

Does it also have the trigger...cause...again...I don't have trigger inputs on my cheap amp. You can rub it in another way if you like, but the fact remains it aint got no friggin trigger. Perhaps I could plug the wire into...no, wait...no trigger! ![wink ;\)](/boards/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif)

Sorry Zimm, I was replying to Myrison and forgot to insert the quote. I was NOT trying to rub anything in just forgot to quote.

Hi Onn, the problem is, I want Zimm's 4 million watt amp, I just want it to have a trigger, so let's do rub it in. Man do I wish it had a trigger!
