Like you , my listening time is at a premium, I share the room my system is in with my family as it is our living room. My system is set up in near field and is the nicest system I have ever owned, will probably be my last system as I am 68 and retired and have spent the last 10 years getting to where I am, so no more shopping except when something might fail. My listening sessions are late night and early into the morning and so rewarding and anything less will not satisfy that need. An album side or listening to a CD while doing something around the house will not satisfy the need of playing 6 or 7 albums in a row and just relaxing, getting lost in the music, no casual listening here will satisfy that need, so I feel you man. I have put together a very good headphone system in my office, after adding phono and a good tube phone stage to it I find my self up their listening quite a bit lately. BTW, great post. Enjoy the music
Listening time and habits
Dear all,
I'm sure this is going to be all over the map, but I'm wondering about how folks structure their time around listening, and how you negotiate listening with partners, family, and even neighbors.
For example, I find listening daily is difficult, though lately I've tried listening to an album side before work, which is a different kind of listening. Mostly, I save up time to just disappear into music for a whole evening. I find I need to forget the world to really listen, and that means not having to watch the clock.
My wife likes to listen to music in the car and while doing other things. Clearly, for me, it's the opposite.
How do you manage your music time?
Paul.
