Hello all,
I am building my first Pass Labs amp, Aleph JZM, and run into a problem: the AC power switch is located at the back and is extremely difficult to access with my audio setup.
The solution could be a remote control AC power switch that could be operated with the wireless remote or just with the wired switch. Something like a little board with the power relay and control circuit.
I found a few pieces at eBay such as this or this ; however, not sure these are best options.
If anyone make such boards or knows where to get them your help is greatly appreciated.

If you're ok with a push button on the front of the amp instead of a remote control wireless, Mark Johnson's H9KPXG push button soft start seems like a very good option. I know that's not your specific question, but just tossing out another option.
There are lots of new wireless remote controls available now, Check in a big-box electrical dept.
I have been using Radio Shack X-10 appliance modules to turn-on power amplifiers for decades.
I also have some new ones from Harbor Freight, but I don't know how much current they can handle.

Oh yeah, good call @Speedskater!
I've had great success with the Kasa by TPLink outlet plugs. You can turn on/off from phone and even set up schedules so it turns off at a certain time or set duration. I do that with my soldering iron so it turns off automatically after an hour if I forget to turn it off.
