Is it possible (practical might be a better term) to have the UMC-1 trigger the power on a device that has no such input? I have an Adcom power amp and Velodyne Sub that are 14 years old and don't appear to have trigger inputs. Not even sure if I'm asking the question correctly.

Google "Niles AC-3" for one of the solutions.

Thanks for the quick reply. That looks like it would do the trick. Is Niles the only game in town, or just the best? Will be really nice to get those two boxes switchable by the remote via the UMC-1. Looking forward to receiving my UMC-1 in April. Can't wait.

I'm using the Niles AC-3 to trigger a Crown amp. Works great. Better than my old automation method and complains less too  |

Can you do what the OP wants with a "wall wort?" I'm not entirely sure what one is but I recall someone explaining to me its purpose in life and I seem to remember its for this reason or something similar.

rather, I think you're thinking of the opposite case: where the amplifier has a trigger input, but the processor doesn't have a trigger output. That was the situation I was in, and I successfully used a "wall wart" that I modified with an appropriate connector. Plugged it in to the switched outlet on the back of my AVR, and viola! Amp came on when the AVR did, went off when the AVR turned off.
napabill's got the other situation: processor has a trigger out, but the amp doesn't have a trigger in. The 12vdc switched outlet is his best bet.
