Do you play the same records over and over again?

All my records have been listened to at least once. There are around 20 that get listened to more often, maybe 10 or so that are "perfect" albums that you want to listen to front to back. 

Sadly, will say, that I'm starting to listen to Tidal more, records less. Even purchasing less records now that there over $35 each in my are. 

On my system, some records sound better over Tidal, and some songs on Tidal sound better than my records. It's good to have both.

Through Jessye Norman et al. and finally Kathleen Ferrier.  That of course led me down the Kathleen Ferrier path (after I stopped weeping).  Her Urlicht (and almost everything else she performs) truly moves me to tears, probably a mix of her voice and her early death.

I find myself wishing that she had lived longer, or had lived later, to really hear her voice.  I remember hearing her on my uncle Arthur's gramophone in the early '50s singing "What is life" and "Blow the wind Southerly".

Apologies if this is off topic but mahler123's correction led me to a wonderful, moving, morning! 

I used to and then buy another copy, but with streaming, I’ve only bought 5-6 new records this year.

Depending on what's going on in life, (health, relationships, etc), I can get stuck in a rut where I can't listen to anything new. So I keep playing the same 50 or so albums, until I break out of the rut. Whereupon I'm then receptive to new stuff for a while until the next slump.

I'm a lot like the poor guy in this video https://youtu.be/sFoUht6QA0o?si=CQb-S9RG1Wm_UDIy

Is your record collection growing? 3000 is a lot of records.

How do you decide what to listen to? Do you have a master index of all your recordings?

Do you have any 45s?
