The best opening act you've ever seen & heard?
@tonyrox I was at that concert at the LA Coliseum in 1981, and I remember the booing and someone throwing a bottle at Prince which essentially ended his set. The following year he released “1999” and had the last laugh. In 1982 I was back at the L... 
Best music in 2024
Immanuel Wilkins - Blues Blood Just picked up this excellent Spiritual Jazz release from 2024 on CD.  
Best music in 2025
I just picked up “Heard Noises” by Matt Berry on CD. It’s a neo-psychedelic pop / rock gem which sounds retro enough that it could have been released in 1968 instead of 2025 but with modern recording and lyrics. I also have “The Blue Elephant” by ...

Has this ever happened to you?
Yes, it happened two days ago when I plugged in my new pair of REL T/5Xs and realized I was finally hearing the sound that had been eluding me all these years. I hope the euphoria never wears off, but it probably will.

Shabaka & The Ancestors - Wisdom of Elders  
R2R next? Don't like ESS
+1 for Denafrips. I have been extremely happy with my Pontus II which sounds superb using the I2S connection to my Jay’s Audio CD transport. If the Pontus is outside your budget then checkout the Ares, their entry level model.  
Spiritual/soul jazz from early 70s and later.
@simonmoon Shabaka and the Ancestors are great! I’m listening to “ We Are Sent Here by History“ right now and I also have “Wisdom of Elders”. Have you heard anything by “Comet is Coming”? It’s another band from Shabaka Hutchins.
