I own two entirely separate systems fed by a total of five turntables, each with a different tonearm and cartridge. So I binge on listening to one system with one turntable/tonearm/cartridge for weeks on end, and then on another. But it's all vinyl almost all the time. In one system, I have an Ayre C5Xe-mp, which is one of the best one-box cdps I know about, and on rare occasion, like when I want to read a book or when we are having a party, the Ayre takes over from vinyl.
Binge sessions
I've realized that I binge listen, not to music (yeah I do that too) but to components. Like I'll spend several days even weeks just listening to vinyl, then several days and weeks listening to reel to reel, and yes days and weeks listening to compact cassettes and to a lesser extent I do the same with cassettes. I have friends that listen to multiple formats during an evening of tunes, and I've done that but for the most part I "binge" on one of the four mentioned formats.
I never noticed, my wife pointed it out. I'm currently on my rare cassette binge, rediscovering how good tapes I made in the seventies still sound (honestly even the not so good ones have been enjoyable) and having fun doing it.
The Mrs., also pointed out that I go through extended periods of borrowing records and recording. During the winter months I like taking the spare half track out and recording small jazz and folk venues. I appareantly binge on this too when the mood strikes.
Anyone else do this?
