RE: Standby switch...pros and cons?

FWIW... most amps I've seen with standby switches, have the SB after the first stage filter cap(s). The rectifier "sees" this first stage, regardless of the position of the SB switch. Therefore, the rectifier still feels a lot of the current rush on cold starts. The first stage many times being the largest mfd section of all the filter stages.
