No. Why would I? Silence can be just as enjoyable. If you steam all the time, you kind of lose that appreciation for your system when you sit down for a real listen.
As for leaving equipment on or off, I’m inconsistent.
I don't do 'background music' - I agree with @goldenways that silence can be just as enjoyable. The music I have on is always in the foreground of my attention. |
@mahler123 Thanks for your answer. |
+1 @goldenways +1 @larsman . I find it essential to on occasion sit calmly in silence. Or to relax outside with nothing but the sounds of nature. It's very important to me to keep that connection with the natural world. Too many manmade noises and intrusions in modern life. Too much technology, too much screen time, too much electronic interference, and we lose our intrinsic spirituality. |
