Neurochrome (@tomchr) and HiFiSonix (@Bonsai) both offer excellent soft starts as well.

Indeed, Neurochrome's soft start is Rolls Royce. All features you could think of and max 2kVA transformer. A beefier standby supply is about all I would want (0.5W is a tad weak). Adjustable LED brightness is a very nice touch.

And if analog is more your thing, look at the HiFiSonix soft start.

How are people powering boards (speaker protect, etc)? I have extra 18VAC and 12VAC from my Antek transformers that I would like to use but not sure the best way to convert it to DC in this low noise area.

The diyaudio speaker protection board simply requires the appropriate AC voltage. I believe the power supply is on the speaker protection board.
