Greatest debut album
I believe Aqualung by Jethro Tull merits consideration.  Cheap Thrills also, even if it was the first major release as a couple of minor off brand albums appeared later.I concur with the Doors first album as well 
Best Preamp New or Used up to $3,000 ??
Synergy with your other components is key.  In your price range the McIntosh C220 tune pre amp is certainly a contender.I have 2.6 Maggies driven by McIntosh 501s via a C220 pre amp that I paid 2,500 for.  After years of searching, I quit changing...

Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
I own Maggie’s driven by Mac 501s with a Mac C220 tube pre amp.  I went through a ton of equipment before I arrived here and have been content for a long time.   Maggies are very sensitive to room treatment and placement, but worth the journey IMH...
