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

I have to admit that I too have turned on a tubed amp to warm up and ultimately never played anything when it was ready to play.
I too now have an apartment, I am using headphones which has made me more comfortable in terms of decency towards the neighbors.   However I  don't like using headphones very much, despite having  pretty good tube dedicated amp and cans.  I guess I could buy $3,000+ headphones and a $4,000 amp but really don't think that's the problem. (nor am I that flush.)
Finally and most sadly is my hesitation to develop a system that can use internet derived material, where a lot of good music is.  The Headphone community uses a combination DAC/Amp in many case and costs can be quite reasonable. Since I have an amp all I need is the DAC.
Please excuse the lengthy crying in your beer!

I an not one who has to have music playing all the time. Background music is not necessary. For me listening to music is a unique experience, as is taking a hike, reading a book, seeing a movie. It is that experience which has drawn me into this hobby. 

I listened to my primary system in my dedicated audio room probably 3-4 times over the summer.  More so in winter. I have a secondary system which I setup and play on my deck outside over the spring, summer, and fall months. However, when I wish to have a focused music experience, off to the 'man cave' I go. 

@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.

I guess I'm like everyone else. I have no child obligations, but I work, and sometimes I'll listen every night for 2 weeks in a row, and then skip a nigh or two because I fell asleep in front of the TV, or simply wasn't interested that night. Then there are 1 week lay-offs occasionally. Like another poster said, I don't let it worry me, I just go with the flow.
I dio notice that I have a spike in interest when I add a tweek or other upgrade to the system.

Wow all this talk about young kids and lack of being able to listen make me think of getting a vasectomy!!!!

These are the things that have competed with my listening lately.

Listening or watching to MSNBC’s entire evening of shows- lots of drama to catch up on.

A new Girlfriend - we listen to My system but it’s often background music when eating or engaging in other activities! (See my first comment)

I often like listening late at night but got a complaint after a particularly late and loud session so that has damped a bit of enthusiasm. (I recently rented out my next door unit to some young guys who’s system I hear - annoying EDM bass- but I don’t have the heart to tell them to turn it down since it only for an hour or two per day)

Recently I have gotten into pinball and bought an Addams Family pinball machine to play (and Do repairs on)

All that being said the system has never sounded better, so I really need to get back into it!
