Beatles CD box set
The 2009 box set is excellent for the British versions (as the Beatles intended). If you grew up listening to the Capitol albums, the Capitol albums box sets vol 1 and 2 are the best (although they do not include A Hard Days Night, Yesterday and ...

ATC SCM40
Great speakers!  
Audio Quest Niagara 5000
Do not use a power conditioner with ARC amps. They always sound better directly into the wall outlet.
