How much?

 @wolf_garcia.  so funny...us retired guys..we need to start a sub group....

@tomcarr i get plenty of non background listening in.....but yes i do use the vintage system in my work room as background....and now and then when something jaw dropping happens, i just listen.....

At least half of my listening time is thru headphones, not at all the same but at least something.

terry9, I take umbrage at the statement "The other posters are listening as background music."  Is there a 2-hour-per-week limit to serious listening?

I still do important things...I just put new strings on a guitar, the motorcycle won't ride itself! And my medicare pays for the gym membership so I gotta go at least 3 times a week...I have spent a lot of time recently listening to my cables breaking in...sort of a zen thing, and they were exactly 3.7% better sounding today...this stuff takes time man...riding my "longboard" skateboard down my street without spilling my beer isn't so easy either, and may explain why my neighbors won't talk to me.
