Daisy-chain an amp or not


My question is to plug my Parasound HCA 1500 into one of the outlets in the back of my Carver preamp tuner and leave them amp on/off switch turned "on". When wanting to use the system, simply hit the remote to turn on the amp, and the preamp/tuner and cd. Turn it off the same way. Is this a solution to walking over and turning the amp on and off all the time, or will this result in some negative results?
Thank you

Agree that this is not a good idea for the above-stated reasons. Then again, if the rig is such that you don't perceive any improvement in sound after your amp warms up then it might not be too bad, although your peak current capability will still be constrained. Make sure that the aux AC outlet can handle it first (check the current spec. against the amp's peak demand) or your power switch would arc & destroy itself after enough on/off cycles (unless they actually buffer with a relay - another question you'll need to answer). I used to setup this way many years ago, until I learned to do better
