is anybody else a kluz and constantly shorting amp

how exactly is it that you manage to constantly short your amp?

If you turn power off on your amps, indeed all of your gear before touching cables/interconnects, and double/triple check that your speaker cables are properly attached before turning power back on, there shouldn't be an issue.

As for amps that are impervious, I think some have protective circuits that do this, but I'm not sure which amps have them.
