What's a technology that was cooler in its older iterations?
I don't mean BETTER. That's a different conversation. I mean cooler.
An old CRT display was literally a small scale particle accelerator, firing angry electron beams at light speed towards the viewers, bent by an electromagnet that alternates at an ultra high frequency, stopped by a rounded rectangle of glowing phosphors.
If a CRT goes bad it can actually make people sick.
That's just. Conceptually a lot COOLER than a modern LED panel, which really is just a bajillion very tiny lightbulbs.

Luckily, the age of proper home stereo systems isn't over unless you want it to be. But be warned, it's an expensive rabbit hole to fall into...
Yeah, I grabbed an old Technics deck to fix up. So many other things were waaay too expensive.
