So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu?
Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Nightingales and Bombers album.  
New Class D amplifiers
This was mentioned earlier in this thread, and in the forum, but I thought I'd post a link here, because it may be of interest in this topic.  I have one of these being delivered today. I plan on trying it with a Bluesound Node and a pair ... 
Best double live vinyl?
Scott Sharrard is the name of the guy who stands in for Lowell George now. A google search shows that he's got an impressive resume. I was impressed enough to order his solo cd, "Rustbelt", from Immediate Family Records. I can't find it on vinyl.  
Best double live vinyl?
It's all subjective. I think a big reason that we have our favorites is for nostalgic reasons. Little Feat was a great band. The current lineup is also a great band. I almost think of them as different bands.  
Best double live vinyl?
I'll make an unnecessary 4th nod to Little Feat's "Waiting for Columbus". If you can check out their current WFC anniversary tour, I'd recommend that you do so. Though I miss Lowell George like I'd miss anything, the guy who's filling his role has... 
Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good
Lots are already mentioned. I'd give a bump to Little Feat, Waiting For Columbus.  I didn't see: Radiohead, Kid A Lucinda Williams, Car Wheels On A Gravel Road XTC, Nonesuch Jethro Tull, Thick As A Brick  
Tubes for Magnepan’s.
I'm running Maggie 3.7i's with a McIntosh C2300 tube preamp and a Bryston 4B3 amp. A used Mac preamp could be close to your budget. I feel that this is a nice setup.

Upgrade to Maggi 3.7i or Tekton Moab?
I had a similar dilemma recently. I ended up going from Magnepan 1.7s to 3.7is. The WAF was a consideration in my case, but it ended up being okay with her that I went with the bigger speakers. I was considering Martin Logans - the 11s I think it ... 
In the middle of a pandemic, Stereophile reviews ~ $30K equipment
I like to read about the stuff that’s out of my budget. Sometimes you stumble across trickle-down technology that is in the budget. Hi-fi sleuthing. 
Help with upgrade bug...
I don’t know if you can get the speakers 3 feet or more away from the front wall, but from the description of what you like to listen to, “Looking for a wider, deeper stage and possibly more involving presentation.  Listen to a lot of female vocal... 
Best debut album
Jethro Tull - This Was. Check out Steven Wilson's remixed version. I love hearing this band when they were young, just developing their style. This is primarily a blues record, a style that they ultimately abandoned. Still - listening to "Some day...
