1. Audio reviews that claim speakers selling for $750K are a screaming bargain.
2. People.

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?

More than tired of being bothered by being bothered by that which shouldn't be bothered with in the first place....trying to read 'the signs' that ought to be placed around and about the latter bother that no one bothered to leave such warnings when it bothered enough to bother to bitch about That bother.... #4: See initial ihmo at the beginning above...if you bothered to... #3: Was in NJ & NYC recently... not impressed with either. Assume that all are operating under my 'comment' for #'s 2 &5; I'm behind you. Sleep well, y'all.... ;) |
For music I can’t be bothered with: 1. vinyl except when it’s included in box sets with CDs and BluRays. I don’t have a turntable anymore so the albums stay in the box. 3. Overpriced concerts. If I can buy your entire music catalog on CD for less than the price of 2 tickets, I’m out. Beyond music, negative or toxic people. Life is too short. Hey, you kids stay off of my lawn! |
