Things we cannot be bothered by anymore

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. 

LOL! I cannot be bothered with my vinyl anymore either.  First, I don't think that on my system, and without a mega $10K plus turntable, phone preamp, cartridge, etc., vinyl has any thing on digital.  Plus, my 800+ albums from the 70's, although I used a DiscWasher and a ZeroStat religiously, and had a Thorens TT, still have plenty of surface noise and clicks and pops that I can't imagine would sound any better on a megabucks rig.  Then there is the constant needle drop, the getting up from my listening chair to change albums or flip sides, etc.  With all my albums digitized, with streaming and with Roon, with music curated by Roon after the album is over, I CAN'T BE BOTHERED!

3) speakers that fall flat when trying to reproduce Tool at 95 db

Saw them again last year and 95dB was only a brief stop on the way to 108dB.

My tinnitus was whispering in my ear to "keep the ear plugs in", but Pneuma started up and it was "screw it". 

You only live once.
