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?

People who believe complex issues have simple solutions, bye bye critical thinking skills.

 

Far too many cd's and vinyl stored all over the house, unused, what to do with them, complete hoarder.

People that believe political ideology is a defining attribute. 

People that believe they have the ability to understand a hobbyist's motivation for "overspending" on their system.

Let me recount my list of things no longer interested or bothered with:

1. Those who insist their 1000 dollar cables sound better than my normally priced ones. I will never find out if they do because I am not foolish enough to squander my hard earned money into anything that makes such outlandish claims.

2. those who make the assertion that raising the cables off the floor makes a difference...I call that total BS and I dont care who likes my opinion. :)

3. Anyone who insists that class AB is better sounding than a well executed class D. Sorry folks the measurements and listening tests say othrwis.
