Audio seems to be getting more personal now. Now that everyone can have just about every song ever, nobody wants a shared listening experience anymore. Half the reason to have a great stereo was because people couldnt afford tons of content to play, so having a nice room filling stereo meant others could hear and enjoy it too. I have fond memories of my uncles listening room. He was a tube amp hi-fi junky and every visit included at least an hour of deep listening sessions. |

You'd save for a while to buy a vinyl LP, choose it carefully (besides radio play, you could also ask to play it for a bit at the store), take it home and listen to it a score of times in a row, perhaps in company.
Then lend it to the friend(s) who also loaned you their LPs. Eventually the LP would come to its place of honour on a shelf with a couple dozen others, to be played when the mood struck.
