    Remote Switching a Lyr/Modi

    Hi all   So I've put a new cabinet in my living room, and I'd like to put the amp in it. The problem is it'll make the rear panel switches difficult to reach.   Any issues, operationally, with leaving the device power on all the time, and installing them in a switched socket?   - John

    "Long Time Lurker"... introduction thread and gear advice

    Hey Head-Fi   Wanted to introduce myself - I've been a lurker here for years (YEARS!) starting when I needed to buy some replacement cables for some Sony MDR-V700DJ headphones.
