Biwire with different cables?
Thank you Stan and Almarg. I have since read that Richard Vandersteen recommends use of the same wire for biwiring. Maybe he's on to something. Maybe I could try Clear Day shotguns. 
Power Cord CDP Termination
But by running current through some of the old power cord, wouldn't that defeat the purpose using of a better one? Or is less more?

Audiophile grade country
Try Rythym Country and Blues. A compilation of songs with a country and a blues artist singing together. Song selection is good. For example, The Weight sung by the Staple Singers and Marty Stuart and Rainy Night in Georgia - Sam Moore, Conway Twi... 
Cambridge DacMagic & Oppo Blu Ray - Other Question
Steven,How did you do the upgrade? What were the challenges? Which PS did you use? Any other tweaks? Consider replacing the IC op amps? 
Praise for DacMagic
I have DacMagic and it improves imaging, soundstage and definition to my CD player. I am thinking about swapping out the DacMagic's IC op amps in favor of Burson discreets. Anyone tried this or other mods? 
Burson Audio
Would like to swap IC op amps for Burson discreets in my DACMagic. Looking for a good soldering technician in Los Angeles/Orange County to do this. Suggestions?

You can roll your own op amps in many DACs too. Some have tried the Burson duals with satisfaction. I am considering doing this too when my DACMagic arrives tomorrow. :) I intend to use it to upgrade my Marantz 4300 CDP changer (cringe) and my DVD...

Upgrade Receptacle on 15A breaker
Apparently, there is no sense in upgrading to a 20A receptacle having a 15A circuit breaker on the line. Hard to imagine that my amplifier would ever draw current approaching 15A. It is rated at 120 watts per side. Maybe I fell for the hype that a... 
Best female vocals on CD
Sinaed O'Connor on This Is The Last Day of Our Acquaintence from I Don't Want What I Haven't Got CD. Her others are also fine.

Rpcoins - For a rippin intro you might give a listen to Sweet Jane on Lou Reed's Live Rock n Roll Animal. 
Best female vocals on CD
Shelby Lynne's "Just a Little Lovin" CD is quite nice. The selections "Look of Love" etc. were inspired by Dusty Springfield. Very nice understated recording that allows her voice to shine. Jennifer Warne's Bird on a Wire has some punchy bass too.
