Ok I really think this thread should be strictly humor, but since sound systems have been brought up, here's another plug for Shibuya Hi-Fi in Ballard. Vinyl records played through a system it's unlikely any of us would be able to justify expense wise. I swear I am not a stakeholder in this place but have been several times. If you used to have a great system and miss that sound, or just really love music, you just gotta go.Lots of mention of speakers.
Anyone remember when SpeakerLab and Magnolia Hi Fi were in their peak heydays?

Our goal at Shibuya HiFi is simple: To place our guests in the midst of a high-fidelity sound experience that offers a reset from the static and the noise of the modern world. Drawing on a deep love of vinyl records, an eye for impeccable interior design, an ear for sound and over a collective century of immersion in nightlife, Shibuya HiFi features an elevated cocktail and listening experience that pays homage to music lovers from Berlin to Ballard. By facing our guests toward the past — specifically toward our Luxman L-505uXii or mint condition Klipschorns in our vinyl only HiFi Room — we hope to guide them toward a future of listening to music in a thoughtful and generous way.
