My equipment doesn't draw any power when off because they are connected to one
central power tap. When the equipment is not in use, I simply yank one plug
and everything is isolated from the mains. However, I did this to protect my
equipment from lightning and power surge damage in the only sure way: by
unpluggging. - Reinhart
