Default Obtaining a switching signal from an alarm.

I've got an alarm clock which gives the usual 'beep beep' wake up call.
I'd like to use it to switch a sound system on. The sound system is
already switched via a low voltage relay, so I'd like some opinions on the
most elegant way of doing this. I have my own ideas but wondered if I'm
missing a better way. Direct connection to the clock isn't a problem.

Hm, simpler to use a cheap coffeepot with a timer. Remove the timer, put it
in a small project case, and you have a perfectly good 15A clock timed relay
:-)
