Poco - Head Over Heels. This one sounds pretty good, it may have actually been graded accurately.

My Poco Legend just shipped today, I should have it later next week.  I'll post my impressions after I get it.  
which speaker to buy
Just because he can bridge doesn't mean he should.  For efficient speakers like Klipsch, he'll only be using a few watts at most before driving them to hearing damaging levels.  It's good to have that extra headroom for dynamics, but bridging them... 
What are you streaming tonight?
Metallica - S&M (with Michael Kamen Conducting the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra) [Live at the Berkeley Community Theater, Berkeley, CA, 4/21-22/1999], Qobuz Hi-Res.  Not a bad way to start a Friday morning! 
What are Your Favorite and Most hated Record Manufacturers
MFSL for both. When they're good, they're amazing, but I've had a number of them arrive with seam splits and a couple have had pressing issues. I think those cardboard liners they put around the records contribute to the seam splits.  
TEAC NT-505 FUNCTIONAL REVIEW

What phono stage?  
What are you streaming tonight?
Norah Jones - Pick Me Up Off The Floor (Deluxe Edition), Qobuz Hi-Res.  After listening to her new album 2 or 3 times, I enjoy it more each time.  "Timeless" seems like a good description of her work.  The Deluxe Edition has some great extras, but...

What rock song sounds the best on your system...
"Best" is so subjective, but Frankenstein by Edgar Winter always gives me a thrill. 
Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo?
No, and I never will. Now I do use one in home theater and that's where it stays. I'm not into the boom boom boom when listening intently to my stereo. With 4 subs there's no "boom boom boom" in my room.  If that's all you're hearing when you'...

I don't have the MOFI version. This was one of a batch of "NM-" records from a seller with 100% positive rating on Discogs. So far, they are more like VG. Disappointing.
