I remember the records when 'stereo' was first coming on the market that would create the impression of a freight train driving through the living room. It might be my ears or my less than stellar sound systems but it seems some of the more pronounced effects of the '60s have been toned down. A the time I had a decent turntable, amp, and speakers I'd built. I think it was one of the Rolling Stone songs that starts with a car horn. A friend who I was demoing the system to thought it was somebody out in the driveway. Like you I got into ear protection at the range and motorcycle helmets a little too late in life. Even in my youth I recognized some of the high frequencies audiophiles oohed over would benefit the cat more than me.
