Has anyone NOT listened to their system for a long time?


As I went to the basement (i.e., listening room) the other day, I happened upon the Hem "Departure and Farewell" lp leaning up against the LSA Statement amp. I had been testing whether I could get rid of a slight distortion I was hearing through the VPI HW-19 Mk 4 turntable -- testing back in late August. 

I hadn't really made the time for any serious listening since then. Is this normal? I have two children - a 3- and a 5-year old, and a full time teaching job. So my evenings are filled and by 10 pm I'm ready for bed.

Has anyone else ever NOT listened to music via their system for a while? If so, why?

I haven’t listened to my system in months, I don’t know how many? Maybe 6 months, and I have a brand new pair of Magico S5 Mk2 speakers! The reason is pretty simple; I’ve had a lot of crap to deal with at work which has left me drained and demotivated. That’s life sometimes. But audiophilia is like your favorite jumper...it might go out of fashion, but you’ll find a reason to throw it on again.

Life crowds in sometimes, and storm clouds gather. But your hifi system is like a best friend...it will be there when the sun shines again..
