good answer, but don't you mean welded closed?

An extreme over voltage/power surge could have welded switch contacts together, although one would expect the fuses to blow first! Relay must be okay, because he says it clicks at proper time. Or maybe it's just a cheapo switch and the mechanism failed. After all, it's not a Bryston amp, and they must save money somewhere.

Probably needs a new switch. Duster, I bet you could replace that yourself, even if you do plan to leave it powered 24/7.
