Not me. I can still remember when kids carried loud ghetto blasters with them. Not as many as use ipods and the like these days, but they were a lot noisier. I prefer the current system.

Re: Dynamic Range (none / 1)

I too remember those, but for me, no improvement, because

ghetto blasters, pocket radios and other headphone-less noisemakers weren't (and aren't) allowed on public transport here;
in practice, culturally (as well as in volume), ghetto blasters have been succeeded by car radios equipped with mega-bass, played at full volume with pulled-down windows; to get girls' attention on a bored evening (cruisin') or just on daily commute/errands;
the many iPod-ers can ensure saturation coverage in closed spaces;
with ghetto blasters, you at least heard the music, not just the monotonous rhythm.

*Traitor*, n.
A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.
