I’m like a poor slob in '70’s when it comes to music. I turn off all the lights, toss a record on my turntable and lay on my couch.
Poor slobs didn’t have high-fidelity equipment, they had BJC uni turntables mounted on the top of the amp with a big ol’ dust cover on it with an 8-track. … AN EIGHT TRACK! 
Back in the day (jeeeez I can’t believe I used that term) the hot ticket was LPs cut from master recordings; not pressed, but actually individually cut into vinyl. Incredible sound reproduction. Played back though high quality pre-amp, amp, and speakers.
headphones = sucky listening (and a headache (for me anyway)).
