Double run of 2 sets of speaker cables from stereo amp to single binding post speakers
It won't hurt anything so just try it. No one can say for sure what it will sound like, so that's the only way.

"Keeping in mind I will NOT even power on the Table that will not be in use. Thoughts? Enter your text ..."What Al just said. Also, not powering on your TT isn't all that relevant. That just turns the motor on and has nothing to do with the cart. ... 
Having difficulty installing Grado cartridge on a Rega turntable
" The stylus is bent off center.  I'll have to return it."Bent how? What exactly are you seeing? (There's a reason I'm asking.)

" Active Speakers bring many technical advantages. There are cheap not so good ones and low end PA types but there are also really good ones. The really good ones (like higher end PMC) are often much better than a speaker with a passive crossover.... 
These three cables, what would you choose?
The original M1's are very laid back. You don't want to put cables in the system that will take the sound further in that direction. JPS Labs's Ultra Conductor 2 biwireChord Oddysey 2MIT AVT1 biwireXLO Ultra +

" I didn't think passive preamp == no preamp ?"Correct. There's no such thing as an passive preamp. It doesn't have an amp. Everyone just calls them passive preamps. " Third option- I saw a used Classe SSP-30. Yes, this is an old HT processor, but...

" Also, wouldn't the 5350 be a "waste" if used only as a power amp?"Not at all. That's how you are using it now. Unless you bought the active line stage add on card, the Creek has no preamp. Just to be clear, I'm not bashing the Creek in any way. ...

Active studio monitors create more problems than they solve. They're overpriced given the level of sound quality they deliver. I would only use them as a last resort.If it was my system, I would get a preamp. You need one.

What's the problem? I don't see how any recommendations can be without knowing that first. 
Cabinet
"meerzistar180 posts12-27-2016 4:38amIt insulates current, not vibration. Thats pretty clear cut. "So was the OP's question." Not worried about the vibration,I can work that out. I’m concerned if there would be any unwanted frequencies from the ...

Porcelain (ceramics), are regularly used in all kinds of electronics. Its a very good insulator. Tube sockets, cables, speakers, diodes, resistors, electrical outlets, etc. If anything, it might be beneficial. Just some general info." List of Comm... 
Aragon, Parasound or Bryston
I would get the A21. I've heard it with your preamp and its a very good match. The 4B would be my 2nd choice. 
Quack System Upgrades
" Where's the funny stuff?? C'mon guys, lets have some fun. I can't be the only member who enjoys a good amount of levity."Not going to happen. I didn't get what I wanted for Christmas yesterday, and I'm pissed.

" auxinput270 posts12-26-2016 3:25pmI would not bang on Blue Jean cable that much here. I also wouldn’t say that it’s snake oil. First thing, it’s the job of any dealer/manufacturer to try to sell their product, so if you ask them if their product... 
ROI. Where is money better spent?
Cables make a difference but the preamp is the most important piece to get right. Get the best preamp you can afford. If you have cables you can sell so you can spend more on the preamp, do that too. If you screw up on your preamp, you'll be spend...
