SQ vs. Music


What percentage of the time do you you listen to your set JUST for the SQ and what percentage do you listen to your set JUST for the music? 
I know the obvious answer is you do both, but can you honestly answer the question?

My recent tweaks have caused me to take notice of the music due to the change in sound quality.
My office system is mostly for work, but after upgrading my DAC/Streamer/Ethernet/Interconnects, I found myself listening while working and suddenly noticing subtle/positive changes that had me more engaged with the music that before.-And, doing less work...

When music hits me big time emotionally when listening, it's nearly always because the best quality is coming through from it as well.

So both equally for me.

When you get your setup correct you will spend your time listening to the music and forgetting about how it sounds anymore but the journey getting to that point can be a nightmare. It is hard to concentrate on the music if you are worried about the sound so my answer is 70/30 sq to music till you get it right and 95/5 sq to music when all is perfect for your ears and your tastes.
When you are no longer young, as many of us are, We all have a database in our listening history of our favorite music.  Many of my favorites have been heard thousands of time over many systems, using many sources.
You know when it is good, and that is what makes me smile.   I just calculated that I bought my first serious system in 1969/70.  That is over 50 years, or 2,600 weeks.  
I know when to listen to the decay of cymbals, or sustain of guitar.   I have become much more sensitive to source materials.  And I look back and smile at the journey and how lucky I have been.
