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?

Sure is difficult to follow a thread when referenced posts are gone.

I wish I was not bothered by WalMart shoppers who appear to be oblivious of the fact that there are other shoppers who would like to traverse the aisle or store exit that has been obstructed by what has effectively became a human road block.

I feel kind of bad because because earlier today I was attempting to leave Walmart and an employee was engaged in some type of conversation with a shopper who was sitting in one of those battery operated shopping carts that some shoppers use to drive down aisles in and they were both completely blocking access to the exit of the store, and I am sure I came off as being rude.

I cannot be bothered by/with reading about how much better vinyl is than digital.  (Even if it is that much better.)

Luckily none of that applies to me no turntable, happy with my streaming setup and listening to Class A SET amps. wink
