Do you ever get that you can't be bothered to listen to music

[Lancslinn]

I'm sure some will know the ref....

I am old enough to know the ref.!!! Sadly it’s a bike. Saves me getting wet and or cold. It’s safer and Iget to listen to music. Nice still!

Saves me getting wet

Obviously not the same contraption....

Obviously not the same contraption....

Certainly doesn’t have the same effect!

 

[JANDL100]

No.

My HiFi is in the main living room of the house along with the TV. This means I have to hope there is nothing on the TV that the Wife wants to watch or hope she is going out for an hour or two, so I can get the HiFi to myself. Obviously there are times when I want to watch TV as well, Football, a good film or series, etc. This is only in the evenings, as I am not one to sit down during the day if there is work, chores, fishing, etc. to do. I do listen to music more in the winter than the summer. I don’t listen to music on headphones, so only other time is in car.

Sometimes, choosing something to listen to is an issue. If I am struggling to think of something I either pick an old classic album or put on Radio Paradise for inspiration.

I certainly don’t get value for money from my kit as cost per hour of listening is on the high side, but I am in it for the long haul and I always want the best system I can afford. I do get a warm shiver up my back when I turn it on.

With warm weather and lots of other things to do. The faff of deciding what to listen to.
Do you find sometimes (like most of the summer) you can't be bothered.
I think for me this is mostly an October to April activity.

When I feel like that there‘s only one thing that will solve the problem…regardless of the time of year.

Nikola Tesla had it right ; frequency, energy & vibration. ‘Music’ is the secret of the universe… well it is mine !

I can still ‘be bothered’ but this hot spell has meant my listening room has gotten rather hot with the introduction of the the Line Magnetic 518A …. The massive 845 valves do get hot and heat up my smallish listening room (4.3m x 3.5m) to the point where it’s uncomfortable for long periods. I’ve taken to listening in just shorts

Listening now and it’s bloody hot …

Get a decent fan, but remember not to fart or you’ll get a face full !

When I come back off my holiday I’m going to order one.

As for the farting, the man cave is the only place i can do it without being admonished by the wife and daughter

Given my health and mobility issues, streaming music from Spotify and Qobuz is a godsend and I listen everyday for at least 5/6 hours.
People love all sort of things, I love music.

Since losing my little fur buddy five weeks ago I haven’t remotely felt like playing any music since, but I have forced myself to play some Kate Bush now.

Kate BUSH AERIAL is uplifting .

Yep. I go for weeks sometimes. I suspect we all do. When in doubt find a playlist in Apple, Qobuz and play it on back whilst you're cooking - or .... Spotify ( I hate them )

I enjoy silence. Or to be more exact, ambient sounds of various kinds. Ambient sounds are the essential sounds of life. I very rarely listen to music in the car, and never use headphones unless I'm recording.

Also, whereas in my younger days I'd do all kinds of things to music, these days I can only do one thing at a time. So if I'm concentrating on any task I switch the sounds off. Much easier to think when it's quiet.

When I'm working I say "Alexa play sleep music" and my Dot plays relaxing music all day, it's great really.

I'd be more concerned about the 845s igniting it.

Sorry to hear that Robby its been 3 years since I lost my soulmate and it takes a while to to get back on track

I don't do Apple Qobuz Spotify downloads or anything tech, CD and vinyl only I'm afraid.
