The absolute best and worst-sounding CD you own ?
M*A Recordings make sublime sounding CDs. Worst? Most all I bought in mid 80 when cds 1st came out. Gawdawful transfers.  
Whats playing on your system today?
Chad Lawson - The Chopin Variations  
Bryston 4B Cubed vs Hegel H360 vs Benchmark AHB2
I owned the KEF Ref Ones a couple years ago, and sold them as I needed the cabbage. Miss them constantly. Anyhoo, for an office I don't think you need as much power as you think. I had my Sony ES integrated on them, and they kicked. Best I heard t... 
Schiit Vidar Monos or Adcom GFA-565se or Rotel RB-1582 MKII
If you could provide even less information on your system, that would be helpful.  
Looking for speaker recommendations that I can purchase on Amazon.com
Also a fan of Indian classical. I've seen Zakir Hussein live several times. Also, and you won't believe me but it's true: I shook Ravi Shankar's hand backstage after a show in MN, in 2003. His daughter was 1st set, and both 2nd set. Anyhoo my dad ...

Need recommendations for inexpensive power cord
Anticables!  
Octave v70se OR v80se
Octave makes supremely good amps. I had the 40 on loan for a few weeks with my KEF Ref One and it was the best I ever heard them. Heck the 40 is a beast and will dig your Dyns.  
Devore O/96 vs Volti Rivals
Dig high eff? Ever heard Sonist Concerto 4 ?  
Daber 2: better speaker in the world for $1k?
Yes actually: Zu Omen dirty weekend.  
Another Free Tip That Yields Better Sound!
I've worn specs since a kid, and thought about this also. I believe there's a sensory effect, removing the visual element (ie rig now blurry) and therefore the auditory becomes acute. More focus on ears, less on eyes. That's my theory anyhoo. Rela... 
Looking for a music server, sans DAC.
Sony HAPZ now allows for direct rips via usb hard drive.
