Help! Pre amp turning on by itself.

 Yes, that's my problem. In the last month I have found my pre amp powered up for no reason. Just me and wife home, no one else in house. No pattern or consistency as to when I might find it on. Nothing has changed to system, nothing new added, there is no TV in room. Im wondering if this could be turned on by something remotely, or is the switch failing in some way? Going to reach out to Modwright also, but would appreciate any thoughts . TIA

We have a heated towel rack that is on a wall timer.  This is all hardwired and there is no remote.

Lately, occasionally, when I get up at say 3AM to take care of business, I'll find the towel rack on!

All I can figure is that late night line spikes/fluxuations are triggering it and perhaps an a/c filter cap that used to take care of this on the wall timer is going away.

So...,
