How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system?

To paraphrase Leonard : There is music in everything, that’s HOW the light gets IN….

@analoguefan ,

I think that the answer to your question is pretty simple. We find or make time to do the things that are important to us. No matter how busy we say we are, most of us can look at any given day and realize that good portions of it were wasted.

Time management is a matter of awareness and discipline. It’s not easy.

@tomic601: Jim, I hadn't seen that statement before, and I LOVE it! Leonard Cohen, I presume? Bob Dylan considers Cohen a very spiritual being.

When I was working and in the county (I spent a couple weeks out of the country a month). It was known to all that the ~ 45 minutes to hour before bed were my music time (distress time). My partner encouraged it because for over thirty years she saw me work 65 to 85__ sometimes much more working and taking care of her (she is disabled). She understood that it was a way for me to de-stress and relax… and that was likely to keep me alive longer.

I recommend you make it clear that you have a time each day. For me it was one album.

Now that I am retired it is about three hours. I get a bit fussy if anyone interfers with my music time… or exercise time… or painting time. 

Simple - we rent out a 1,000 foot room above a commercial building so all of the tenants are gone after hours.  We get to play for hours and enjoy music.  We have friends bring over their gear and out them in our systems also.  We have a kitchen and bathroom on the floor in a building with an elevator.

Happy listening suckers!
