External Soft Start for Class A Amp

[john65b]

OK, so I watched this video and a few things came to mind (ahem...you will see what mean...now why did they go and do that?)

Raymond Innovations - A10 Universal Soft Starter demonstration. - YouTube

A plug in, external Soft Start...

So I can just put a CL-60 in an external box (mains between Class A amp and wall) or just put the CL-60 inside the wall receptacle, no?

I’d rather use something that latches a relay across the thermistor once it’s finished doing it’s job. A simple circuit from Elektor comes to mind, is self powered by the mains and is the basis for the popular modules one sees on ePay all the time.

Not in the wall receptacle.
