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?

I can't be bothered with silly things like listening to music in any way/format. I just want to read/talk about all the marvelous equipment to achieve Nirvana for music listening; specially if the equipment is over $100,000.

Can't be bothered with knowing what to do with my defunct 500+ CD collection. Removing them and having empty shelves with nothing to put on them. All that money, wasted!!

Perhaps, had I known streaming was only 35 years away I wouldn't have bothered with CD .... lol

I can't be bothered reading this post anymore.... Oh wait, damn I just read the whole thing.

EDIT:  I can't be bothered with weather or not I contradict myself. I'll just open my mouth. Maybe my contradictions will start a meaningful conversation.
