Interconnect and Speaker Cable Burn In
if there is only 1 pair of ICs, then drive the interconnects by Squeezebox or any other source you don't feel bad about running 24/7. Assuming that the ICs are connected to a preamp or an integrated, you don't have to have the pre or integrated on... 
What Silenced the Ground Loop?

It's people you are dealing with. Everyone's different. And I know it too! But, I agree with you. Also, I've encountered a few times where I make an offer and never get a reply. Wonder why because the offer wasn't a low ball. The 3-4 later I disco...
