I have the craziest prog listening room.

It's acoustically treated with a full on home theater surround sound system including a sub woofer that generates
611 Watts of power.

What could be more proggy than that?

Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

Yea, you always have to give the vinyl a good look over before buying.

On purpose I have been buying some duplicates, main reason is just to get a new fresh pressing. I cringe at the thought of destroying my stylus with a $3-$5 rekkid......not a good tradeoff!

I only buy VG+ as used, and inspect at the store before leaving.

My collection of new vinyl (released after 2000) is around 600 LPs.

Even though I keep a list of new purchases I have ordered an album I already own four times. Embarrassed

I blame PayPal for making it so easy to buy online. Wink

^ Nice! I can see how one could end up with a couple of the same LP or, in this case, the same EP. It can be hard to remember everything you own LOL

That is a coincidence, I have the 12" version as well. I've had them since the 70s when I was buying a lot of imports. The 12" is a Canadian pressing on the Atlantic label and the 7" is on the Charisma label. I don't know how I ended up with both versions but back then record shopping was sometimes a party event. Shocked

Not the craziest, but I certainly enjoy it :)

And of course my Genesis corner w/ all my Genesis albums, solo members albums, and Genesis related albums along with 45s. And then my random Blue Effect CD boxset and Kaipa boxset behind it cuz i havent figured out where to put them yet.

I have a few ongoing projects in the music room so there are times when the music is in the background.

I don't sit and do nothing but listen very often and I probably couldn't for any length of time.

I could not fathom listening for long periods if I was a CD or digital file listener only....The listener fatigue of digital music would probably drive me bonkers.

Heck even on long plane flights I can only do maybe 2-3 hours of listening thru my digital player.

I've never listened to music all night but it's not uncommon for me to be up at 4:00 am.

If I'm up and in my music room then I'm listening to music.

Me 2.....my area is in the lower level of my home, I can listen as long as I want and don't bother anyone. I can get pretty loud also, normally after midnight is when the wife will come down and tell me..."ummm honey it's after midnight, I think your TT needs to go to bed..." LOL

Gary you ever listen all night long into the morning? I have done that a few times....

No headphones, Jose. Those are 70s era Pioneer speakers on either side of the Telefunken stereo in the bottom picture. I can listen to music as late as I want without bothering anyone so I don't use headphones.

Does anyone use speakers anymore or just headphones, I keep my headphones in a box - where they belong(refer to pic)

gotta feel the music as well as hear

I thought I posted a pic on this thread..... Confused

Previous setup, new toys have been added since this pic

Setup after new speakers were added in June

My headphones are only used when I am setting REC levels and Monitoring on the R2R tape deck....Other than that speakers play my music.
