Perfectly stated.

I have about 670 LPs, so I'm in no one's league here, yet finding time to sit and listen is tricky. The last LP I played was Chicago II, about three weeks ago. And I still have the aftermath of my recent amp purchase to deal with, as far as straightening up the place goes.

I'm really lucky. I pretty much listen to music 12 hours a day, so I get to work through most of my music on a pretty regular basis. I've only got about a dozen or so still in shrink wrap, but working through them for this issue.

Unfortunately my buddy with 45,000 records does not listen that much anymore, too busy with work. (owns a record shop here in Portland!) But since I got him a decent system last year, he did say that he's catching up.

Since I got the ARC REF phono, I'm listening to a LOT more vinyl again, and I've probably bought more records in the last four months than I have in the last year or two easily.

I think it has an ebb and flow...

All four Ray Lamontagne albums
B.B. King- Lucille
Eddie Vedder- into the wild
The Doors- live in new York
Son House-father of the delta blues
Otis Redding- dock of the bay
B.B. King-live in cook county jail
Howlin Wolf- the London howlin wolf sessions
The White stripes- self titled (in my book anything Jack white does). I would wait for the new pressings that are coming out
Black Sabbath-paranoid
