Are you Sirius?
The easiest way to cancel Sirius after the paid subscription is to cancel/change your credit card. 
Help adding outddor speakers to current setup
There is a much better way.....Check out what Michael Fremmer says about Riva Audio on Analog Planet.  If I didn't have wired speakers throughout the house and pool, I'd surely do the Riva. 
Richard Shahinian has passed away...
Damned......another one is taken.  This industry is thinning at a most unwanted pace. 
Getting The Most Out Of A Koetsu Urushi
I would suggest you get in touch with Bob@bobsdevices.com.  He can tell you the right answer.  Even though you might have enough gain and loading, he'll tell you the optimum.

Looking to get into tubes on the cheap
You can't get tubes on the cheap.  They are inherently more expensive.  Unless you can pay the way, go solid state....better bang for the buck on sanely priced equipment. 
Confused!
