Safe to leave an AA5 plugged in?
#2

Depends on the repairman, despite a restoration some folks still feel a bit better unplugging a set. A compromise is a switch that plugs in to the AC outlet-you plug AA5 into the switch. Throw the switch and you kill power at the wall switch, some have a lite for on/off. I know a few guys who like these, like a security blanket. A Linus switch?

You can get the switch at a hardware store.

Happy listening.
