Currently, my 'go to' track is Stalin Malone off the Elvis Costello Album Spike. From the snap of the snare to the textures of the brass to the pprrraatt of the tuba.... After the performance, they may remain (or may no longer be) my dream speakers.

I’ll have to check that out - I don’t think I’ve listened to anything but the original… I know what you mean about narrowing it down to one… I could easily go with Private Investigations by Dire Straits, anything by Alison Krauss, etc…

Ridiculous lowball offer. Ridiculous low by a factor greater than 10. Kinda like the offer for my Inifinty speakers.

I'm struggling because I like so many different songs for demonstrating various aspects of speaker performance.... It would also depend on my emotional state and/or state of intoxication (and nature of intoxicant)...... Aw heck, I'll go with the song that first attracted me to Carver gear when I was young... Genesis- Abacab. the 2007 remastered version

In somebody's basement? Them prices look a bit low, or so I am told. Women's healthcare is going to hell, fast, I 'spose.

Your song triggers my song..., "Enter Sandman", Metalica, Remastered version.

Buy one, get one at 50% off. Careful what you wish for.

$650 = 2 $350 = 1

Industrial Disease, by Dire Straits, SACD.

What track (and format) would it be? Mine would be Sandman by America on SACD.

Or my wife's breast augmentation, or my sex change operation, or your trip to see the Wizard of Oz, Tinman.

Before I typed LOL, I had typed and deleted... Give me your address so I can come over and light it on fire at your from door... I also typed and deleted - I wish I could sell it at that price but I need the proceeds for my child's medical treatments...

On the flipside to this kind of experience..., is when someone has priced something way to high..., you make a reasonable offer, like, say, even half the original ask..., they come back with the LoL or the LMAO..., comment..., showing they have WAY to high an idea of an item's worth..., so, I then offer half of the half, again..., making the point. One time, the seller declining the offer, comes back, weeks later..., and says in a message,..., I'll take your offer now. At which point, I say, that was then, this is now..., and offer half again. (half of half of half). Needless to say..., things change. And, this actually worked once. (Story for another time.) In context here (round numbers)..., that would be list for $650, first offer of $350, declined, followed by second offer of $150, declined..., followed by third offer of $75, accepted. 😉 Sometimes you have to stand your ground and make the point. LoL

Repeal the 19th.

As @wrf has suggested, you need to use a Variac. I use one on all equipment. That way you have control of the power and watch what is going on. Have you tried to adjust the SVR801 to see if High rail voltage will drop? By reading your post, you have left a lot of unanswered questions.
