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

I do like to hear my music, but from time to time I am working abroad for a few months and even up to a year. For that I have used secundary systems with speakers like the legendary LS3/5a or now the Harbeth P3ESR, but restrictions on air travel luggage make taking these rather harder/more expensive. So recently I have used a Tivoli Radio Two, fed from my laptop (with a little Behringer UCA 202 DAC). It made me perfectly happy even if I was well aware of the sonic limitations.

Prior to retirement listening was restricted to weekends. Now it' unrestricted and my system plays 12 hours a day most days when I'm home. Critical, make me smile, listening occurs about 3 hours daily in the evening with a glass of spirit of choice for the day. I think that' what they meant when they wished me a happy retirement.

I’ve gone in and out of period of audio fever. It was highest when I got heavily into high end audio in the 90’s into the early 2000s. But then I did a long side detour into flat screens and then home theater. With bursts of listening to high end, with some purchases, in between.

For the last 6 years or so, it’s been routine for me to view at least part of a movie in my home theater almost every night.  But a couple years ago I got bit again hard by the audio bug, bought some Thiel 3.7 speakers, and then some others, and I’ve been listening to music constantly on the system. My movie watching has had to take a back seat as I can only accommodate one obsession at a time :-)

Getting back into vinyl has also kept me interested in listening to the system. Not sure how long this current fling will last, but I’m enjoying it.

Yea, just went 4 days and cranking tunes now, sounds awesome. 4 days is a long time for me, just can't get this monkey off my back.

I've been down since the beginning of December. A blown transformer on my new to me Wright wpp200c phono pre. It's been a good break, reading again playing with my kid, helping my wife more with the little things. I think I and my family are better for it. Looking forward to getting the rig fired up again but with a balance now. I have been a little concerned that the fire is abating but with the purchase of a few little inexpensive isolation tweaks in the meantime that I'd been meaning to get around to I'm excited again to get it all going.
