Here's mine:
 
Best buy this year:
1.)  CD-3
2.) WA22
3.) W4S DAC-2
 
Best tweak this year:
1.)  Tubes for my WA22: Shuguang Treasure CD-181Z, 5692 brown base Sylvanias.
 
Best value this year:
1.) Hard to say...I find everything too expensive nowadays.

Now that I have about 100 hr on my HD800, a revision is probably in order.

- jkeny MK3
- Anedio D-1

Purchased in May, I'm still tickled by my W4S purchase - HUGE bang for the buck!

I prefer it to the almost 2x Bryston BDA DAC that I had on loan over a weekend. One great DAC the W4S DAC-2.

Best Buy:
1) Audio-GD C-2C
2) Sennheiser HD650 (C-2C comes first just because it was required)
3) Audio-GD NFB-2
 
Best Tweak: 
1) Every time I try to tweak something it's good for a while, but eventually stops sounding good. The best tweak for me has been to just leave it alone and listen to music instead of fighting myself.
 
Best Value:
My Klipsch Promedia 2.1's. Got 'em for 130 and they're GREAT near field speakers. When I need to share or don't want to listen on headphones, they're amazing.
 
Best Thread:
By far and away...

Best New Music Discovery: 
Honestly can't think of any. This year I've really only been pursuing my favorite artists a bit deeper.
