Favorite Tribute Albums?
I like the Two Rooms Elton John tribute album also. The Who doing Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting), Clapton doing Border Song and Bruce Hornsby doing Madman Across The Water are some of my favorite tracks.   
Critical listening and altered states
THC. FTW  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Bustin’ Out by Pure Prairie League. Great album.   
Most recent concert
A year ago I saw the Stones here in Houston. I have seen them 3 times and this last show may have been the best. I have tickets for Willie/Bob Dylan et al for this coming July  
Do you listen to your music with your eyes open or closed or a combination of both?
Depends on how much weed I’ve smoked.   
Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You?
Ray Davies of the Kinks: ”Well, I’m not the world’s most masculine man  But I know what I am and I’m glad I’m a man  And so is Lola” So is Lola glad or a man?  This makes me laugh every time.

“Too Stuffed to Jump” by The Amazing Rhythm Aces (ABC Records - 1976).  One of my favorite albums.   
Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ...
@mattw73 I upgraded from the Geshelli Labs J2. I enjoy the smooth warm sound of the Ares 15th. It mellows out my Advance Paris A10 classic and B&W 705s. It makes a very nice sound.   
DAC with i2S
I’m streaming via USB from a WiiM Ultra into an SMSL PO 100, then output from the SMSL into my Denafrips Ares 15th using I2S. It sounds great, better soundstage and detail than RCA, in my opinion.

I have the Ares 15th and I think it’s great.
