Self-sensing amplifiers - anyone can recommend brands/types?

[admin_exported]

Heard about the existence of 'self-sensing' amplifiers, that power on automatically when they receive a signal in - want to hook them up on my ZP80 Sonos boxes.

Sonos said they know of some, but can't reveal names due to not officially supported....

Anybody out there who can recommend models? Links where I can find more info? Google is not much of a help.....

Thanks - Charles

Self sensing?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I'm intrigued. Why do you want such a feature?

I'm guessing it's to save power and be nice to the planet (if that theory is the correct one anyway...)

For some reason I can't create links at the moment but have a look at

Cyrus Smart Power

perhaps its of help. Good luck

Thx for the ideas...;-)

self-sensing also seems to be called 'remote on' or so.... when amp 'senses' input/line in from external device, it switches on automatically. Looking for 'modest' solution to make better use of the Sonos ZP80s (see www.sonos.com)
