I recall a study by RCA Labs in the nacent days of "HIFI" (late 40s, early 50s) in which they found that listeners preferred a mellow sound, and expecially disliked extended high frequenices. Nevertheless, Capitol Records released a boxed series of their Full Dimensional Sound (FDS) LPs which included a booklet about the new technology, and names like Fisher and McIntosh began appearing on shelves of specialty shops.
Except for those boxed sets and the old Westminister Lab recordings, I've given away all my LPs, and never regretted it. I must admit, the apparatus of a turntable and arm do make nice toys, and you can tweek them forever instead of listening to boring music.
