Madfloyd, unlike most of the other responders here, I am like you, with my system and maybe 80 LP's on the ground floor with my collection in the basement. So I do have a 'heavy rotation' section going. I try to rotate LP's at least on a monthly basis. Sometimes I am more successful than others, depending on how hectic life is.
Listening habits and LP storage
Does your LP storage scheme affect your listening habits?
The majority of my albums are in the basement while my system is on the ground floor. I keep about 30-40 albums near the system (so that they don't overtake the room).
I find that when I listen, I'm picking from the nearby albums instead of my entire collection. I also have lots of new albums that need to be cleaned before I'll listen to them and I'm not getting to those very quickly at all (although I keep buying them :-)).
I'm not at all frustrated by this - if I was I'd be motivated to get up off my rear and rotate the selection near my system. Rather, I find myself content as I put something on and get swept up in the music.
How about you?
