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! |
Endless debates about gear when control of key variables have not been accounted for. Take, for example, the room. Food critics would never debate the quality of food if they were unsure whether or not food was doused in ketchup... But many audiophiles will debate the sound of gear not knowing the role the room is playing.

You guys inspire me: 1. YouTube videos where the poster blabbers about anything except the point of why you clicked in the first place. 2. Small type. Can’t read it, MAKE IT BIGGER! Related: Ads with a black background and small gray type. Idiots. 3. $100k speakers (and subwoofers extra). Why do $100k speakers NEED subwoofers? 4. Songwriters that don’t know how to write songs. Apparently, writers these days don’t know how to develop a song. Give you EVERYTHING in the first verse and have nothing (new) for the last. Also, stupid repetition. Changing a single word in a subsequent verse (hey! Don’t cost anything!) shows that you’re, at least, awake. Hey you kids! Get off my song! |
