Decisive moments your your audio journey

Have you had any truly decisive moments in your time in this hobby? 
 

I would have to point back to the first time I ever heard Magnepans, it was a “whoa what was that moment?” moment. That was in the 1980’s. It was the first time I ever truly heard reproduced music that got the midrange right, without it being squished

Go to your doctor and have them clean your ears.  Especially, if your an older person.  I thought mine were clean.  Nope, not even close.  My stereo sounds the best it has in a long time.
