Things we cannot be bothered by anymore

Can’t be bothered anymore with …

powercords,interconnects and speaker cables that are stiff/heavy enough to move equipment or have broken inputs or iec’s 
exotic footers and platforms that make marginal difference and are ridiculously expensive. 
exotic contact enhancers that get on everything
magical fuses and all the audio jewelry that is as costly as new components  

I’m guilty of having fallen trap to all of the above for many tens of thousands of dollars.
Now just want to plug it in and enjoy the music.   
 

The world and audio, and life  became so complicated to be bothered by anything

Cannot be bothered by no tolerance for pops here and there on an original vinyl pressing of Mingus' "The Clown" that sounds infinitely better than any $50 reissue ,,, and I just listened to both. 

Anything out in the world that may rob me of the joy I find in music ... there is a time and place to head down the spiral of despair, whatever the cause, however, not when I am locked into a groove - that is my sacred space - and that will not be forfeited - full stop.
