Cambridge Azur 851A Problem! Help!!
@cs9314  You can plug the 851A to a kill-a-watt and see if the standby consumption is less than 0.5 watt.  
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
Another option is to use a Velodyne SMS-1 with a power amp to replace the subwoofer plate amp.  
Full range stand mounted speakers
Frequency response of the Triton One.R is 27 Hz - 25 kHz (-6dB on axis @ 27Hz, anechoic bass response), and the frequency response of Totem Mani-2 is 29Hz - 20kHz ±3dB. If paired with a powerful high-current amplifier, Totem will be on par with T... 
Tweeter protection
The amplifier provides clean power to the tweeter which is the best protection! Tweeters usually get fried from excess energy due to amplifier clipping. It must be that when I recalibrate my AVR, it's set to high.   If you're using an AV rece...

Cambridge Azur 851A Problem! Help!!
 I always turn the unit off after using it, so the switch gets used. Standby power consumption is less than 0.5W, and it is not necessary to turn off the Azur 851A through the rocker switch on the back.

Leave system on or power everything down?
The Earthquake only has the 1 power switch unlike other amps which have a "standby". If you flip the front panel power switch to "OFF" position, it actually is in standby mode, you still can turn it on via 12V trigger.  To completely power off... 
Adding a power trigger to an amp that doesn't have one
I don't think such a device exists. However, it's basically a 12V trigger interface used to control a button of an IR learning remote control. That is a good DIY project!    
Adding a power trigger to an amp that doesn't have one
The problem is that almost all the amplifier with momentary Standby/On push button switch will only can put it into Standby if using AC mains switch, you still need to momentarily press the front panel button or use the remote to turn it on.  
Adding a power trigger to an amp that doesn't have one
NOTE: I need to press a button on my amp or its remote to turn it on, it will not turn on just from the powering on a power socket. What amplifier is it?    
Is the Marantz PM8006 powerful enough to power my B&W 802 Matrix Series 3?
