Your first concert was to see who and when?
First major concert U2 Unforgettable Fire tour 84/85. First actual concert Resurrection Band in a church (duh!) Still the loudest concert I've ever attended. And I've been to many hardcore shows.   
What exactly is critical listening? Who does it?
It's just OCD man, pure and simple. Enjoy what you like and forget the rest.   
Pop album that has stood the test of time
I was just listening to a French DJ version of the debut A Flock of Seagulls last night. Gotta be top 3 80s albums all-time for me.   
Vinyl Only
An amazing artist and incredible album, but I loathe Jane's Addiction "Been Caught Stealing"    
Turntable Advice on Hum/Brands
I really appreciate all the information. The first thing I am doing is installing a wall mount for isolation. If that passes the test with my entry level audio technica I will begin looking at an upgrade. Lots of good suggestions here.  
Noob question about streaming . . .
I had a Marantz integrated amp using HEOS as well, likely the same setup you have. I did not like the HEOS app so I got an ifi streamer no dac. I used the Marantz dac. That way I was able to use Tidal Connect, and much preferred the interface.   
Turntable Isolation
I have the same issue, and haven't yet, but will be getting a pangea wall mount for about 200.00. From what I've read it fixes the problem.   
Cambridge Audio Evo 150 vs Hifi Rose RS520
I appreciate the insights akg_ca. Never heard about the amperage being key.
