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?

I cannot be bothered by those who can't keep their politics out of an audio and music forum.

I cannot be bothered by those who can't keep their politics out of an audio and music forum.

I wish it didn't bother me but I think we are in agreement that such topics have no place here.

I cannot be bothered with/by people who are constantly preaching that the actual sound of the recording that is being reproduced by my system should not matter and that it should be "all about the music" and that because this is how they feel about listening it is the only correct way to feel about listening and therefore the way everyone should feel about listening.

I cannot bother with listening to horrible recordings/masterings/mixes of great music that come out of my speakers sounding like hammered dogcrap.
