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.
