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

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.

I listen at about 75% and not at 100% when l’m on this site playing music at the same time. The music is just in the background and not up front. So l can listen but not so intensely when reading or writing. 

l don’t think anyone can concentrate AND hear music completely if they are doing anything else at the same time. You must Zombie out everything else to completely enter the 100% music immersion appreciation society.

I believe that multi-functioning with Audiogon or anything else will not adversely effect your ultimate music enjoyment trip/fix unless you are incapable of imitating a zombie.
