Your first amp?
It was a receiver, actually: a Harman-Kardon 330c. Here is the manual:http://www.harmankardon.com/resources/Brands/harmankardon/Products/ProductRelatedDocuments/en-US/OwnersManual/330COM.PDF 
Is this your final audio system?
My nightmare is a steady diet of Barry Manilow, Rush, Yes, and Foreigner throughout eternity. 
Are unequal length speaker cables really bad?
I second that. I have one 8 ft speaker cable and one 6 ft cable, and can't hear any effect. Given the speed at which the signal runs through cables, the mismatch would have to be on the magnitude of many a difference of several times the length of... 
Clear Day Cables Speaker Cables
Paul is an incredibly helpful guy with a genuine love for the hobby and an eagerness to help folks get great results without doing walletectomies. A honest gentleman. 
Is it just me?
I think you need some dianetic auditing to permit your true Theta-personself to emerge. This could take years and be costly to fix. How much money do you make again? 
Best Live Album Ever...
How the West was Won. Amazing Led Zeppelin from their peak 
Have cables become somewhat of a snake-oil topic.

Review: Acoustic Revive RR-77 Tweak
If the "why not sell it" comment was directed to me, the answer is I couldn't, in good conscience, do so. Anyway, for the $350 or whatever it was, I'll consider it a lesson not to buy a "tweak," let alone any product, absent a right to return it w... 
Review: Acoustic Revive RR-77 Tweak
I bought one. I couldn't tell any difference nor could every person who has ever heard it on my system. I've hidden it for fear my wife will laugh at my idiotic purchase. 
Topnotch BluRay Concert.....
I've about 40 blue-ray discs and of these, about a dozen are concerts. Most are really good (the Led Zep Celebration Day falls into that category). Were I to want to show off my HT system or to test a new component, I would use Peter Gabriel's Sec... 
Which Coax Cable Do You Prefer Using?
I used the Black Cat product. Got it used for not much. Frankly, I've never been able to discern any difference between the various brands. 
speaker for Jolida fx10
I have used two speakers with this amp, both with nice results. One is the Paradigm Studio 10 and the other is a Tekton Katz. It's an OK amp, not the best and not the worst, and both speakers were far and away more than enough.
