How important is spending time with your gear?
In another topic we're talking about digital input speakers, and it got me thinking about something entirely different.
How important is it to spend time physically close to your gear, vs. enjoying it's output? If you could have your gear in another room, or closet, and you were left with just your speakers with no audible downside would you do it? Would you put your gear away and enjoy the empty space or do you need the physical closeness?
Clearly turntables make this a challenge, and there will be some poopy heads which don't get the question or can't stretch their imagination but for those who can, would you?
Erik: The electronics for the main/living room system have resided in a hall closet for the past 20+ years (speaker wire fed through 4 small holes in the front/speaker wall). Just speakers and approx. 4 foot lengths of speaker cable in the living room (no TV in the living room either). My only TV is a 20" white Samsung flat screen located on a blanket chest @ the foot of our bed (white and small because it's less noticeable). I do not like looking @ electronics.

I like the workings to be out where I can enjoy them. The cause-and-effect is part of the pleasure for me. The whole world is built around the "device paradigm" but I like at least part of the world to have some of its workings exposed. |
