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...). --Cliff
