Is participating in this Forum infringing on and spoiling some of your listening time?

It's perfect reading while listening to my system. Yeah, I'll skim through the longer posts but I enjoy the comradery with my fellow audio enthusiasts. By the same token, though, reading poetry or classic novels while listening to music does take a little too much intellectual effort for me. I need to immerse myself totally in one or the other. I've also never quite been able to pick up one of my musical instruments and just jam with the pros I'm listening to on the stereo. Jamming with live musicians is much, much easier and more intuitive.

I don’t post all that often. I used to spend too much time reading equipment threads when I was looking for new gear.  Now I mostly scan the music threads and albums for sale.  Not really to buy, but for ideas on what music to select from my large vinyl collection. Discussions on classical and jazz have been particularly helpful.  Audiogon has enhanced my love for this hobby and the art of music. My bs filter has improved as well.

Glad I posted this thread.

I have kept splitting my attention but now more scan what I look at and pay more attention to the music. Notice that when I follow my breath the music pulls me into a meditative state. It’s like I breath in the music. Interesting…

I've heard Steve Guttenberg define audiophiles as people who do nothing else while listening to music.

With the TV between my speakers, I like to watch people walk the streets of other country’s on YouTube in 4k while listening, on occasion. I guess I can’t always be an audiophile.

Agon makes for a great airport and waiting room time burner.
