Yes. They work fine. However, it's cheaper to build one up out of discrete components - Triac, optocoupler, a resistor or two. But then again, it looks like you've already got one so go ahead and use it. What are you switching with it?

Que? Class A amps like the Aleph will COOL DOWN when you run very loud! As the power is going to the speaker instead of the heatsinks! So let the kids play loud, so you Aleph will not overheat !
