First real stereo at age 15
I also am 66 now.

Disgree entirely, just based on the average age of the r/headphones subreddit.
The nature of the systems changes based on age and disposable income, for sure, but there wouldn't be an explosion in the world of hi-res digital audio if people my age were entirely satisfied by listening on their phones.

35 years ago tubes were declared dead. 30 years ago LP's were declared dead. Somewhere around that time paper cone drivers were considered unsuitable for "high end" use.
