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 know, right?

Silly old people for liking their music created by actual musicians...

@thecarpathian ,

Yes, definitely silly (among other things), for not considering them "actual musicians."  Typical old people...."cannot understand the words.....their hair is too long.....they need a bath.....it's too loud....they can't even play their instruments.....it's just screaming...that's not real music....it's too fast...blah...blah...blah.  Thanks for embodying my point....

What decade do you think this is and how in the world did what I say embody your point?
