I sometimes wonder why anyone still takes time , care, effort at all...when even the finest and most expensive product has such a short expected lifespan on the market .
I no longer have a home stereo and haven't had one for at least 10 years.
I listen to an Mp3 player into a class d amplifier into my disco speakers.
Sounds awesome.
I sometimes run a usb dac from my pc into the same amplifier and that sounds good too.

M.Gregg. I am digging your Jukebox idea. In my work we use flat screen TV in vertical mode quite a bit. Your idea of the Jukebox image - animated or course! - is a cool one. 
Which, of course, leads one to speculate on the LD50 of Terminal ITunes...

From talking with my kids, it seems that home stereo has evolved into the AV receiver for most families that still have one.
Those that don't have an AV receiver use their TV with Appleplay, pandora or the like.

I talk with my kids about the stereo system all the time. They are polite enough to listen to me go on about it, and only pretend to understand most of it. Yet, much more of it has rubbed off on them than I expected. On top of that, they both have excellent ears and can (for example) easily distinguish subtle differences between DACs in blind tests. They truly do appreciate high quality audio and seem to understand why I put so much emphasis on it. They'll still listen to crap audio from their phone or tablet if convenience is the more important factor for a given situation, but in doing so they do understand that it sounds horrible.
Just yesterday I was showing one of my daughters my "new" EQ. At first she was captivated by the pretty lights, and suggested that all the lights should be blue, not red. Then I went on to demonstrate how it works and she thought it was pretty cool.
I refuse to let my offspring be party to the death of the home stereo system. If/when they leave home, I'll be sending an amp and a pair of speakers along with them.
