Jhoak & Yogiboy:Thank you both for the recommendations. Both devices appear exactly what I need for this application.Do you use these in your system? Have you done comparrisions to see if there is a performance loss with these in between your ... 
12V On/Off Options for Amps do not have this
...looking for a "plug-n-play" option that works as I described above.I'm not looking to modify the amp in any way, and I want to plug the amp (as directly as possible) into a dedicated circuit that already exists, again, without modification.Than... 
APS Pure Power A/C Regenerators
Thanks for keeping the comments coming, guys. Does the 2000 get warm? If so, does it get hot enough to make a room noticably warmer, like some tube amps do?Thanks. 
Sonos Products
I've had a Sonos system for around 4 years. I have a ZP-100 and several ZP-80's (generation before ZP-90.)My experience has been that the system is great for general listening/background music. Even with mods, it does not compete in sound quality ...

Moscode 402AU vs Modwright KWA-150
RAL:The DA-1's are 6 ohm speaks.I think it's fair to say that hybrid is exactly what the Moscode sounds like. It shares some of the desirable strengths of both tube and ss amplification.I have done a small amount of tube rolling with some NOS tube... 
Moscode 402AU vs Modwright KWA-150
Some likely changes in my home will make my tube amp impractical. Not wanting to give up all of the tube "magic," I recently purchased a new Moscode amp to use with my Daedalus DA-1's.It is a fantastic amp and I have already grown to appreciate th... 
VAC 301 versus VAC 200 as monoblocks
Franz:I see that you listed your 300.1 for sale.Why not pick up a 2nd 300.1, run them in mono and have the best of both worlds...vivid AND organic???  
VAC 301 versus VAC 200 as monoblocks
