Interesting question. While I can walk and chew gum at the same time (if I chewed gum), I've never been one for reading and listening to music at the same time. I read A LOT. I listen to music A LOT. I watch movies, telly, vids A LOT. A time for everything! I used to be a concert photographer, and when I'd bring my camera to a gig, I could either enjoy the music or concentrate on the photos, but not both. That is why I have no pictures of some of my favorite artists....
Is participating in this Forum infringing on and spoiling some of your listening time?
I think the question is listening vs reading. I have a great system that I adore. However, I regularly check my email, read the news and then go to this Forum… all while listening to music. All while not giving my undivided attention my music time.
I do look up frequently and marvel but get it gets a bit boring to just look at the space between the speakers.
Think my eyes need to be engaged as well as my ears.
When at a live performance, I do watch the performers. I don’t close my eyes and just space out.
However, I do frequently enjoy listening to my system and going into a meditative space. But while involved with the Forum, etc, I do split my attention.
