Things we cannot be bothered by anymore

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.

At this stage in my life I do not allow anything to bother me.  I focus on what I can control, which is self.  That which is beyond my control is not relevant. 

My peeve is;

"Built like a tank."

"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....;)
