Wall Wart On /Off Switches

[river rat]

Hi,
Just a quick question: I just bought a new mic preamp that has no on / off switch. GRRRR. Has anyone run up against this inconvenience and how did they sovle it?
I was thinking about a one port plug adapter w/ an on-off switch. The one I found on-line seems a little chintzy. Does it matter? Thanks....

Why does it need a power switch? Unless it has tubes in it cooking along, it draws almost no power from the wall.

Thanks for your reply. It is a Studio Projects vtb-1 . It has a starved plate tube circuit, but the real issue is convenience. Turning the amp on and off as needed by pulling the wall-wart out of the "ganged power strip / conditioner is a drag. There are 1-plug adapters with an on-off switch for sale but I am unsure whether they would create RFI problems.

How about it's own switched power bar? Probably no more expensive than a switched wall-wart.

Not to belabor it, but why turn it off at all? I mean I am all for saving energy, but when low power things lack power switches, maybe they don;t need one. It won;t run up the power bill, it won;t make noises if the amplifiers are off.

Not to belabor it, but Enzo is correct again.
