Help me complete my stereo system (Harbeth, ClearAudio Concept).
You might try Gig Harbor Audio.  They are a Harbeth dealer near Seattle.   
Whats on your turntable tonight?

@reubent I'm continuing to play grade and add records to Discogs as time allows. It's going to take a while, but I've rediscovered some things in my collection that I probably haven't listened to in a few years, like that one :)

The Very Best of Booker T & The MG's 
Replace my Marantz AV7702mkII?
A good preamp with home theater bypass is the way to go.

Gary Burton / Chick Corea - Crystal Silence. Finished up Light as a Feather before this. The last track - Spain, is an auditory treat. If your system does imaging and soundstage well, it's a nice demo track.

Need DAC Ideas

SoundSmith cartridges how good?
In the future it would be great if we could keep the negative comments to ourselves until we know for sure it is a pattern.That's a lovely sentiment, but it makes no sense (if no one posts until there's a "pattern", how could a pattern develop?) a... 
Music format for bringing to audition/demo
I never take anything. Every place I go has every song I would want to hear.  
MOFI not shipping LPs according to purchase number.
Music Direct sells them. MOFI sells them. Maybe both come from the same place, maybe they don't. Acoustic Sounds sells them and I'm pretty sure other retailers do also. What kind of outfit can't control every retailer selling their merchandise so ...
