Many years ago a friend had the big Eagle 7 amp from John Iverson. That had such a large draw with turn on that no switch was included. Iverson recommended simply plugging and unplugging.

That could be a hassle so my friend installed a knife-switch in line and used that instead.

The power switch in my preamp switches a big AC relay in an electrical box which in turn switches my power amps.
