Thanks for the replies to both of you. I sometimes wonder during these long stretches of not listening, whether I'm slowly fading away from the hobby. That's an arresting thought, too.
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?

@mechans This is exactly how I feel (minus the neighbor influence)! I, too, am hesitant to add on to a system with a music streamer. Why, I don't know. Am I a reluctant old fart? Probably. My DAC has a USB input that I've used maybe once or twice from my laptop. Problem is, I simply don't have enough stored files - except on my phone and those are mp3's. If I'm going to go into digital streaming, then I want a hi-res sound. |
