How do you listen to your music?

I randomly go pick out records and play them, both sides, as I do everything in the house, pretty much the entire time I am home.

I watch my wife and crack up. She will listen to digital music, she does use the tube pre-amp instead of just through the reciever, which is good, until a song comes up she really likes.

Then she will go look to see if we have it on vinyl, cue it up, and switch to the vinyl version.

So she gets it.

Most of the time in headphones and sometimes after smoking 'green tabacco' and having some wine or beer during listening session... till I go to bed to switch to another day.
Weekend listening may involve speakers untill spl from my wife will be larger than speaker spl.

I am subjected to music I for the most part don't like (or am tired of hearing) all day at work. It usually takes a while after I get home to even be in the mood to listen to music.

I usually grab one CD or album at a time. Sometimes one will suggest another. I was fortunate to obtain quite a few mint records from my last job (for free!). I pretty much grabbed everything I could carry that I was remotely curious about. I try to give these a listen when I have some time to sit down really pay attention to them.

I also love to listen to music while cooking. This doesn't always work so well with vinyl.

For serious listening I go to my audio room. Usually have a mood in mind. 1st go to Lp or SACD if I have it. One tune suggests another. Inevitably I fire up my Fender tube amp, get out my harp mic(yea,that"Green" thang)and my harps then crawl into demz bluz yet once again. By then my wife usually steps in to hear me jam with a tune or two. Lucky man I be. Doesn't require any drug to get high (been there - done that) ... just the music.

I usually put on one CD at a time to play and then decide what to play next after that album has played through. If I am listening to vinyl, I get a stack ready before I start to play.
