[Amps] Solid State Relays

[Mark S Graalman]

  I think the main thing they wanted to accomplish
is insuring that the amp wouldn't get turned on while the
AC cycle was at or near maximum voltage.
 While the concerns are valid, can't really argue
with the point that they've used them throughout
the production life of those amps and the system has
worked.
