Hi

I have, amongst other equipment, a Bryston 4B SST2 and a Bryston BDA-1.
I also have "smart" wireless power outlets that basically monitors the power usage and reports it back to a computer.

These outlets can also switch the power on/off based on a schedule, e.g. cutting power during the night but have it on and warm all day for best sound.
Is just removing the power when they have not been turned off first bad for the Bryston equipment, or audio equipment in general?

Hi marsboer

No problem assuming no pops through the speakers - I like the idea of monitoring the power usages- how does that work exactly?

Are these outlets (really receptacles) designed to switch appliances on & off (relays) or are they also designed to dim lamps?

I have a system from plugwise: http://www.plugwise.com/idplugtype-f/home-start

I have 9 active units located on different equipment in my home. The system works very well. They automatically build a wireless mesh network between them. One of the units are smarter than the other ones and stores the data until you connect to it with a computer using a USB wireless stick and download the data for more permanent storage, visualization or configuration.
