Doe you enjoy your listening to music and your system more with others or alone?


It’s no doubt that us as Audiophiles spend a lot of time listening to music by ourselves. It’s just the way
it’s, a hobby most others don’t understand. So do we prefer to listen by ourselves or is it more enjoyable 
with others? For myself, I generally enjoy listening by myself. Usually when another Audiophile friend is over listening it becomes more about the sound ( system ) than the music. Also, they only want to hear
music that brings out the best in the system and for myself let’s just listen to what’s playing. 
Non-Audiophiles tend to get bored easily if they don’t like the music, and can be even more picky about
what music you play for them. Non-Audiophiles put no value in the sound. They only want to hear their favorite music and that can be even more frustrating. At least acknowledge it ( sound ) even if you can’t hear the difference.
For myself it’s more enjoyable alone, but that doesn’t mean all the time, or does it?

I rarely have music playing when visitors are around. We pay attention to each other instead.

In my previous life, the main use for my system was to bring it to the party so people could dance. That is what it was about. Nobody really cared about the warmer mids or tighter lows.

You got it right. Show off baloney is strictly for egomaniacs. The worst system here will impress non audioheads.

Hi,
this is a pure personnal involvement that does not need any outside reward but sharing the result with astonished faces is nice. 
Mostly alone and sometimes with spouse these days but i enjoy gatherings with buddies or friends. Two different listening approaches.
