Things we cannot be bothered by anymore


Occurred to me today that I have dropped stuff that I cannot just be bothered by anymore, and wondering what some of you out there have let go of as well 

Me (lean mostly into analog)

- Lifting a tonearm lever to cue a platter - no more - years off my life

- Carbon brushes, cart cleans with every spin or two - years off my life

- Ugly racks that look like ones I had in 10th grade, though cost 20x more - out 

- Listening at low volume levels to gauge audiophile purity

- A/B'ing streaming platforms 

Finale - $50 audiophile pressings "remastered from the original master tapes" that sound like sanitized cheese spread - magic gone, warped, drop-outed, bubbled, and gain-whacked (there are exceptions for sure)

 

How about you?

Posters who assume that everybody lives in the USA

To our friends to the North: Your new US passports are in the mail 😂🤣😂

I don't think rappers are in any way, shape or form musicians.

@thecarpathian 

I'll say this as respectfully as I can: You are wrong.

I may not be a huge rap fan, but rap unquestionably is music.
