How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers?
I was raised that you don’t touch other people’s belongings and to respect other people’s stuff. I guess that must have been lost through the years.If you have questions, ask. If you want to touch, ask. How friggin hard is that?  
Who Would You Spend A Day With - Pick Two

What CDs to buy
My go to process has always been to search for “best version of X CD” then select Steve Hoffman forums and start researching. It’s always worked well for me.  
Synthesis 27AC vs COINCIDENT DYNAMO 34SE MKIII
Thanks. Yes, I spoke to Mike there and he said he wants to buy an amp and is having a hard tome choosing between AN and Synthesis. That tells me how good the Synthesis must be!   
Synthesis 27AC vs COINCIDENT DYNAMO 34SE MKIII
@jond May I ask why you're not using any AN amps?  
Synthesis 27AC vs COINCIDENT DYNAMO 34SE MKIII
Thanks @jond I appreciate your input. I'm not sure I can go wrong but but it would be nice if anyone was familiar with these specific amps.
