Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time
Musical labels are for record companies and radio stations marketing efforts.  All music is folk music.  I ain't never heard a horse sing a song. -- Louis Armstrong  
How do you stop house guest from damaging your speakers?
If a guest shows an interest in your system you then have the opportunity to educate them about its workings.  Sure, things can go badly, but don't sweat it.  Be polite to your guests.  The alternative is to that guy who parks his car in the far c... 
Learned something new today and it isn't good.
@tony1954 does your CD player have the de-emphasis circuitry?  If it doesn't, then those CDs will sound a little bit bright.

The practice was stopped a long term ago.  Use an internet search engine to learn more.  
Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning
Everyone has got an opinion and for me that first solo Robbie Robertson album is fantastic.  Great songs, great performances and that Lanois sound.  Highly recommended.  
Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue
The description of this being a serious issue, a huge problem with profound consequences is hyperbolic and overwrought.  I can assume that every other potential issue in your room and system have been thoroughly worked out?

The band was political from the get go.  
Show off!

Graham LS5/5: considered impressions after three months of ownership...
Wow!  Thank you for your considered impressions.  I'm so impressed that you had the SP100s with the MF A1000.  A very rare combo in the US.  I've owned S100 on two occasions and I currently use SP9/1s as my main loudspeaker.  
The Forgotten
Allsion, Spica and VMPS loudspeakers.  I miss them all.  
Au revoir, MHDT Orchid, you're a great DAC but...
It sounds amazing, but you think it's too much of something or other.  Could it be you're overthinking the situation?  Would you stop going to a restaurant because the food was too delicious?  
Loud Snap at High Volume
You must be well over 90dB to cause the woofer to bottom out.  Use an SPL meter to accurately measure your listening levels.  
Billie Holiday's Prime?
