@whart Thanks very much. No apologies necessary. I usually follow this forum and respect many of the members here also. I will additionally check the Hoffman site. Cheers. Greg

I remember installing an under dash slide mount Pioneer 8track in my mom's 73 mercury cougar. Put the huge pioneer speakers on the rear window deck. Cut my teeth with Black Sabbath and LZ. good times ☺️. Greg

I'll take two.   
CD player suggestions...
I'm very happy with my Audiolab CDT 6000. Big upgrade over my Marantz 6007. Caveat, it is a transport only. A capable DAC is required to use it.  
Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ
Roger did have a disclaimer before every gig if you don't care for his rants then f*** off to the bar. For years you know what you're getting from a Waters concert. Great music and political whine. FZappa was the same way. Still love the talent.  
Most underrated female recording artists..
Joni Mitchell specifically Hejira. This album features Jaco Pastorious on bass - of course. Beautiful listening. Greg   
What’s your latest high-end audio purchase?
So many great responses. The journey continues. I scored a pre-owned pair of Sabrinas. Gave my son the Polk LSIM707s Sold my wheels to get them. Love em. Put some Gaia's underfoot and never looked back. Hendrix sounds better than ever.   
Where did you buy your first audio gear?
JC Penney 😆. Then I "upgraded" to a Lafayette receiver. After serving in the AF I special ordered Crown IC150, Dc300 and the 11 band EQ. from the PX. That's when I got the bug!
