I inherited a large collection of classical LPs from a colleague, and I try to clean and listen to one each day. He had an obsession with Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and among them are about thirty versions! I'm taking those slowly, as I don't want to get to hate it. I put them back on the shelf after listening with them in order of preference. Isaac Stern and the Jerusalem Chamber Music Centre Orchestra is currently in the lead. Otherwise I do tend to play favourites rather too often. I have to be careful as my wife's tolerance for repeat plays is low.

I think I often rotated my very high resolution albums more often in the first ten years of being an audiophile (in my twenties). Then over the next decade or so, played a bit more of "the good ones" when I was upgrading my system. But the emphasis changed as my musical interests expanded rapidly throughout my life. So, then I as music driven. I am leaving the link. You need a subscription to read it. Hopefully most of you do. We need to support good reporting.
