My arch-nemesis, Stanzmastertron3000, worked in a record shop iirc.

Spend a day in my shoes selling bottled water to upper-middle class people and you won't.

The system my parents rigged up when I was a kid, had a turntable, dual cassette deck, 5-disk CD player, radio tuner, and two different equalizers. Audio was provided by at least five speakers of various sizes and types throughout the room.
Today my mom listens to the same music through tinny laptop speakers.
