A new equipment rating system based on time % free time spent on listening


May I introduce something that gives everybody a different perspective, different measurement of how lovely certain equipment is?

Here’s how it works:
1) if you have multiple setups at home, pick the setup (combo) that you like the most
2) share your % of your weekly free time that you’d listen to it
--- description of the whole setup (there shouldn't be any duplicate equipment type ... can't possibly have both playing at the same time)
--- top 3 music genres

3) if you have past setup that you’re fond of, state so too
4) your setup at home only, you may include loaner, but don’t include anything that isn’t in your home

--- No need to argue about class A vs Class D, power cord, snake oil, tube vs SS, etc

--- No bashing of other’s setup --- Just say % of your free time you cannot resist to listen

--- WEEKLY FREE TIME = the amount of time in a week that you are free to choose to do anything you like (e.g., stay at home, play with the kids, watch TV, catch a ball game, drink a few rounds at a bar, hang out to watch a movie, etc, while you are awake). % only.

===============================================

Well I’m relatively young and not married so I do have a lot of free time, but the *prime* free time is weekend nights when I’m drinking and truly enjoying no worries of or preparations for work the next day. Weekend days are for sleeping and recovery (lol). I spend upwards of 75% of weekend night time in front of my main system - usually 5 to 7 hours a night - just listening in the sweet spot with no iPhone, etc. And often in the dark. If you look at overall free time, probably just 15%. My girlfriend loves it too and joins me for the full event each weekend...going on 2 years now. So that says something.

The main system is vinyl only, btw.
