Your last concert was to see who and when?
Brit Floyd 4/28.  These guys are amazing.It's as close as you can get to seeing Pink Floyd without Gilmour, Waters and Mason.  RIP Syd and Rick.If you are a Floyd fan, you owe it to yourself to go see them. 
How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp?
Not much IME.

disc player upgrade bug: Esoteric vs EMM vs PS Audio
I've heard the K-01x and several EMM's.  If it were my money I'd buy the K-01x without hesitation. 
Whats playing on your system today?
dire straits live at the BBC 
Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used
I am a fan of Audio Magic cords, regardless of what the anti-cable ankle biters spout. *rolleyes* 
ESOTERIC K-07X VS Mcintosh MCD 550 Which is better ?
Esoteric over Mac every day of the week when it comes to digital. 
Speakers (and system) for a small-ish room
I'm selling a Focal Dome sub/sat system.  It's a fantastic setup for a small, high WAF package. 
Most overrated bands
In my mind Elton John is near the top of the list.  I literally cringe when his music comes on the radio. 
DAC recommendation
Micromega MyDAC. 
Diana Krall
Saw her last night in Durham, NC and thought it was a great show.  Her band was amazing and while I agree she doesn't have the most dynamic range, we really had a great time. 
Audio Research Ref 3 VS Mark Levinson 38s
Completely agree with @jmcgrogan2  that there shouldn't be a $2k price difference. 
Audio Research Ref 3 VS Mark Levinson 38s
Nobody is saying buy them both... can't you audition them?
