I have my entire stereo wired through a power strip that is plugged into
a "BX-10 appliance module", you know those little gizmos you can get at
Radio Shack (or through DAK) that allow you to use a remote control, or
a telephone, or a timer (or a rs232 interface through heathkit).  I too
have a Nak BX-1 and I run mine on timer mode this way quite frequently
(It is nice to wake up to Jerry and friends...).  Since my Hafler 220
is clever about abrupt power changes I don't have to worry about speaker
damage when everything is turned on or off at the same time.  Too bad my
VCR doesn't have a mode for timer *playback* or I could program it so
I could go to sleep listening to the first set of a Grateful Dead concert
and be awakened by the second set (VCR goes into my Nak DMP-100...).
