Microzotl 2.0 as preamp question

I have Mac mini (through dragonfly red) and bluesound node 2 going to small tube preamp to red dragon s500 to revel performa3 f208. I am reading all these tremendous things about the microzotl 2.0 as preamp. I really like the red dragon so I want no changes there but I would be interested in using microzotl 2.0 as preamp. How have people handled the issue discussed on the linear tube audio site about turning on the microzotl before the amp and turning off the amp before the microzotl. Have you encountered the thump they describe? Is there any device that exists that one can use to remotely trigger the 12v on the amp exclusive of the preamp trigger out...or do you just get up and manually turn the amp on and off?

I have a similar setup as Kenny with the DI’s and MZ2. I also suffer from no thump noise. I do have a PS Audio P10 so I can program a delay on some outlets so that everything doesn’t turn on at the same time. I believe Music Direct has P3’s on sale now. It also can’t hurt to have good clean power.

Also, the LTA MZ2-S is the best preamp I've ever heard.

Kalali, I have never owned or spent any time with a CJ.
