Most people don't have proper home stereo setups any more either, and they prefer shitty overcompressed music through earbuds. They don't know any better, sadly.

And Ive probably spent less than 400 dollars on my home setup. But it blows away anyone who hears it. Just takes some smarts in setting stuff up and getting good used equipment.

Just another part of the cheapening of everything in society , and why music isn't appreciated as much anymore. No wonder everyone has depression.
