Mariah Carey. I used to have a lot of nice crystal, but no more.  
Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark
Chill out, dude...Dynaudio isn't going to manufacture sub-par crap, whether it's made by Danes or the Chinese. Trust your fellow human beings to make a good product.  
Musical Fidelity 550 supercharger monoblock fuse location?
Really not trying to be snarky, but why do you need a manual to help you find a fuse? They are not that difficult to distinguish.  
I have new speakers on the way. What to listen to first?
Ah, "Your Latest Trick" is a great choice...perfect.

Just get that iPhone out of your bathroom during showers, as steam and iPhones don't play well together.  
Warm Tube Amp(s) to Tame Hyper-Accurate Speakers?

Footers- Break In? Such A Change.

Good or Best Surge Protector
APC S10 or S15: rock solid dependable, works as advertised, and most importantly does not require one to take out a second mortgage. I live in South Florida, which is a veritable lightning magnet, and this thing has saved my system countless times... 
Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment
Quicksilver Mono 120s to join my QS pre and Spendor 1/2Es...finest and most enjoyable system I've ever had. They ain't going anywhere!  
What song have you played the most?
David Bowie's version of "Wild is the Wind" from an absolutely great live set from an early 2000's Japan show (I believe)... can play it 100 times in a row and never tire of it. 
Are Quicksilver power tube amps in the same league as VAC, VTL, BAT, ARC, ...?
I own the M120s, and they are just phenomenal... I would put them up against any and all oncomers.

Simple solution to this problem, folks...Ban those who can't play well with others. It's called responsible site moderating.
