What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you?

While it doesn't happen often. Get on my bike and go for a long ride. Some exercise gets any angst out of my system and lets me enjoy the moment. 

Best thing I ever did was set up a second system.    It on it's on merit sounds damn good , it gets me real close to my main system.  

They both have a different presentation so sometimes I'll give the main rig a break , while thoroughly enjoying my small system .  Funny thing about the small system,  my brain has trouble accepting it sounds SO good...  so it's been getting a lot of use lately. 

Then when I have some spare time I'll fire up the main rig , appreciating it even more.  

A lot has to do with " are you feeling it " ,   so sometimes if I can't really find what I want to listen to I'll stream a song I like and let Auto Play find songs it thinks I'll like. 

After years of enjoying my Heresy IIIs with a couple of older REL subs, I decided to put the IIIs (note the III's titanium mids sound much better than the new poly driver redesigned mids on the IVs...no compression throat for some reason) up on slightly tilted back 15" stands...man...the new sound is revelatory. Also, I bought a Classic 99 sub to replace one of my older RELs and that thing, used with one of my trusty Q150 RELs, is pretty amazing. So if you're a little bored and feeling a need to mix things up, just spend money. Also, smoke some pot as it moves you sideways for a different perspective. (from the late 60s: "Are your a real hippy or a weekend hippy?"

Take a day off

Going to concerts may bring back the desire .

Like going to ´´ exotic  ´´ dancer  bar  may rekindle the flame  😉
