To answer the OP’s original question, I do a few things. I work with children and teens professionally and make sure to keep a turntable in my office. Generally I usually have something spinning when they entered the room. Most haven’t ever seen such an archaic contraption and are curios. I open a lot my sessions by having them pick a record and teach them how to use the tt. I use music in my work as often as I can(I’m a trauma therapist) .
The other her thing I do is ‘audio surprises’. I often have friends who , when they come over enjoy listening to my system. They often have only a Bluetooth speaker at home. When I discover this I quietly put together a simple system for, usually cobbled together from used equipment from my local Hifi store. It’s usually vintage or near vintage gear, but always well matched. I then show up at their house on a weekend day when they have an hour or so and surprise them with a new(used), stereo system and set it up for them. I call it ‘stereo bombing’. I’ve done 8 of these thus far. It’s pretty rewarding..
This crazy hobby is about not only enjoying our own but also bringing that enjoyment to others in my opinion.
