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?

Going for long stretches without listening has certainly been normal for me over the years. As much as I love listening, life happens and listening gets set aside. Sometime I just lose interest, too. Then I'll get that spark back and become very engaged with my system and my records. I've found it works best for me to just go with my flow. Whenever I've been away from listening for weeks (or months), I always come back with renewed enjoyment.
