Do you play the same records over and over again?

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. 

Now my systems sound so good that nearly anything sounds great and I am attracted to constantly changing music. I’m listening to some contemporary music that was identified in this great New York Times article. 

I am leaving the link. You need a subscription to read it. Hopefully most of you do. We need to support good reporting.

Also, is this your main mode of listening?

I have quiet time to listen to music every afternoon before I have to start dinner. It can last from one to two hours. I also listen for about and hour or so when painting (art... oil painting), each day (using my great 300B headphone system. Then occasionally on my MacBook while on the forum., or on my office system.
