the only thing I miss about the sixties and seventies is the great audio dealers,who would let you try out equipment,help you set it up without charging you hundred $,and make you feel they are doing you a great favor.I do not miss the LPs at my age if I had to get up every 20 minutes to change record I may live longer because of that exercise but I just would not bother.Nor do I miss the tuning of the arm and cartridges nor the expense of wiping out the styluses.I beleive our memory deceives us the rate of improvement in audio in the sixties by marantz,mac ,JBL,Bozak followed by levinson was so impressive that we believed it was the best equipment today the rate of improvement is very slow and incremental at best that we tend not to appreciate how good audio equipment has become.I have to admit that I still try to improve on the quality of the reproduction by wasting money on the latest of whatever,but it is more out of boredom on no financial constraints.But once you cross into the seventh decade of your life you might aswell try enjoy every moment.
