I'd love to hear what you guys think.And when I mentioned "sexy" in my previous post, I was thinking of your CJ preamp. That thing redefines sexy!

With tube and hybrid stuff, we wait a minute for the tubes to heat fully and the high voltage capacitors to form. Frank Van Alstine
You should leave your audio components on all the time for the same reason that you leave your toaster oven and blender on all the timel Mainly to be a friend of OPEC.Long term heat is the enemy of electronic parts. My idea of taking care of great and durable audio equipment is not to feed it all the heat it needs long term.We will start listening to solid state equipment as fast as we can get from the power switch to the volume control. With tube and hybrid stuff, we wait a minute for the tubes to heat fully and the high voltage capacitors to form. Anything more than that is a waste of energy, time, and a source of joy to the Saudi oil ministers.Best regards,Frank Van Alstine
SNIP Late night post--I shouldn't do those.
Awesome. Again, thank you guys so much. This really helps. Although I did find out the Universal remote doesn't power on the amp... I'll just have to teach my wife.

I just use the 2100's trigger to power my main 2-channel amp on and off. I also power on the 2100 for HT bypass as well. You may not.

I'll have to use the trigger to do the same. I don't power on my 2100 for HT bypass. Any advantages to doing that over just leaving it off?

See pipe, this is what you should do when you wake up in the morning and read one of your late night posts...just "SNIP" it. True, so true. Of course, I shouldn't have been writing anything that time of night anyway. I also mistakenly used the wrong manufacturer in my little rant, not that I should have ever written anything. Dennis is smarter than me, anyway. He also was able to SNIP his post before anyone replied. I think I will go back and SNIP my post now. Regardless, I still feel like I am having a Southwest Airlines "Want to Get Away?" moment.
