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....

All Is Bother:  Bother to show me it's not. *Bronx Cheer*

@rlb61 #2 & 5: "Hell is other humans."
             #1: For those that Can when you Can't....Deal with it....😒

             #4: See initial ihmo at the beginning above...if you bothered to...

             #3: Was in NJ & NYC recently... not impressed with either.
                   Grew up with LA freeways.  I already know what you're going to try.
                    Don't....

Assume that all are operating under my 'comment' for #'s 2 &5; I'm behind you.

Sleep well, y'all.... ;)

"HEY, KIDZ!  Get off on whatever it is you're try to get off on elsewhere!"

(....the subs kick in, the frequency going subsonic....the dispersing crowd suddenly drops into crouches' as convulsive defecation begins.....)

...yeah....pretty vicious....;)

Y'all are having too much fun...(summoning the dream police) *beep*chatterchatter*Boop/Beep* 

Yeah, I'll hold....(azhole)....*mute*

Y'all stay still....

All DACs' do sound the same....*dangles bait before meat grinder*

*eyes soapbox* noo....

HERE...we find respite from all that noise 'out there' ...hopefully, not always...it's difficult to disconnect reality v. one's desire for simplicity and need of 'pause for one's cause', whatever that may be.
Ours is That Sound That We Seek.
Good luck on getting There.

We may need it.
