Moster Cable HTS 5000 Owners
Just keep everything on via the HTS 5000 and turn each piece on/off from its own control. 
Audible differences between speaker cables?
Before Monster started us on different cables in the 70's we all used whatever Radioshack sold and now we spend a lot on gimmicks and maybe even some justified claims - we worry about the speaker cables but not much is said about all the wire used... 
Martin-Logan Comparison
I traded a pair of Quad 989s for the Odysseys mainly because my wife hated the Quad look. I thought I might be sorry but so far I really am enjoying them and the extra money in my pocket. I was thinking Prodogy at first but liked the Odyssey after...

OTL amps with Wilson Watt/Puppy 6s

Triphazers - Use them?

tubes or SS?
Get the Kora Hermes Tube DAC - it works great with ss and tube amps on CD sound.
