Safe to leave an AA5 plugged in?
#3

A compromise is a switch that plugs in to the AC outlet-you plug AA5 into the switch. Throw the switch and you kill power at the wall switch, some have a lite for on/off. I know a few guys who like these, like a security blanket. A Linus switch?

You can get the switch at a hardware store.

Happy listening.

Thanks for the advice, I'll have to look for one as that radio and this computer are my only sources of entertainment in my dorm.

Just to make sure, you chose either 4 ohm into 5K or into 10K? (blk-org or blk-grn)morzh — 06:23 PM
