Power Up the System - What Do You Do?


I leave my system in idle when not in-use. I only kill the power when I know bad storm is comming or if I am out of town for few days. I have always disconnected my speaker cables before I start it back up and re-connected after system is completly powered up. This way the speakers don't get popped and eventually could cause damage. I am just curious how you start up your system.

Thanks.

Now for something completely different. I buy some older/vintage equipment which should "be powered up with a variac slowly". Well the problem is I don't know where to find this particular piece of equipment which I can only assume is an variably atennuated power source. How slow is slow?
BTW I like to go through the front end to amp start up, but leave my equipment in idle when my Mother's voice isn't saying "make sure you turn off the.... you'll have a fire and poke your eye out."
