I don't know how quickly the B+ comes up in the amplifier. I had an HK amp for years (used on a pair of RCA theater speakers). The KT88/5881 is designed for the Ultra-Linear circuit where the screens are run at plate voltage. It has enough screen dissipation to survive that plus is designed to have low IM distortion. Unfortunately, I had to sell the whole rig. A remote switch will certainly be easier on the line switch in the pre-amp. I miss high end audio but am almost deaf now.

I’m going to build a switch/outlet power box to turn my Harmon-Kardon audio amplifier on/off. I have been using the switched output of my receiver. My question is: Is there a simple circuit to ramp up the 120 v ac ? My thinking is that might be easier on the KT-88 tubes in the amplifier. Or is it unnecessary? Skip Magnuson W7WGM
