New Steely Dan Aja
I assume you mean the double-45rpm version from Acoustic Sounds? I think it's awesome sounding, and I've got an original 70's promo from the day it was released. That is brilliant sounding, but nothing like the double-45, to me....

Elvis Costello's favorite album of his own.
I am not a musician and could not care less about the 'pocket' of a song. I care about how I like the song and how it sounds. I really like the Attractions a lot. I don't like Clover or Huey Lewis. You do like them. People can have differing opin...

Hearing aid question
My hearing loss is in the top end, too, and I've always worn custom ear molds that are not 'open ear'; there may be 'open ear' custom molds available, but I've not seen them. Domes, on the other hand, usually have openings for air and room sound t... 
All around headphone amp recommendations
I've tried many different headphone amps, but as others have said, can't really make a good recommendation without a budget. There's decent $100 ones. There are awesome $10K ones. And a whole lot in between.   
Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off?
Nope. Every generation has enough people who care about the finer things in life and can afford them, be they cars, watches, hi-fi gear or any other 'luxury' items to keep the industry going strong. And those people will continue to have ears an... 
Technics Turntables...really???
