Close your eyes and hear the music ?

Lights out, eyes closed, glasses off and I prefer to keep the old buttocks covered due to the leather sofa.

I'm with Dekay on this one. I believe that vision distracts from full aural concentration. I have a blind friend who lost his sight at age 20, and he says that his hearing is far more acute than when he was sighted. I love listening to music late in the evening, lights very low or out, glasses off (do all audiophiles wear glasses?) -- but my La-Z-boy has cloth upholstery, not leather, so clothing is optional. Any other "audio-a-buffo-philes" out there?

funny, I just bought some new dimmer switches for the listening room.
Unfortunately my initial experimentaion with lights down, my new chair and eyes closed is ..... sleep: perchance to dream
BTW yes I wear glasses and worse yet I am needing bifocals soon

Agree with eyes closed, darkened room, glasses off, light up some candles &/or incense, clothing optional (as I haven't noticed a sonic difference in that respect). Unless S.O. accompanies me on the sofa late at night, in which case the audio may take a back seat to other home-made music (where clothing is definitely un-necessary)...LOL :-)
