Back in the day it was very important to be an audiophile because people were playing their music through shitty kmart all-in-ones with cardboard speakers and taping a nickel to the turntable arm so the record wouldn't skip

the vinyl would be ruined after 5 plays

These days the sources are all digital and perfect and everyone has excellent earbuds. Even $15 computer speakers are better fidelity than the old kmart specials.
