Are you spending your time at the computer instead


of listening to your system? Is your hobby leaning more and more towards internet sites and discussion groups on things hi-fi or are you still listening to as much recorded music as before? Do you do both at the same time, and if yes, do you think that it is a good thing to have a mega dollar system's sound "filtered" through a video display screen.

I split my time. I do listen a lot, and that hasn't changed since I have started to use Audiogon. But I also listen while I'm looking at Audiogon instead of say watching TV. I guess you could say I listen more because of it.
I'm with S7horton - I probably listen more due to having a computer, though I also often have a basketball game on mute while listening to music.

Do I think it's a good thing to "filter" the sound this way? That never really occurred to me as relevant if it's all about the music. -Kirk

My TV time has suffered due to my internet "surfing." I'd be surprised if I watched 10hours of TV/week. Usually it's under 5 hours/week, if that. I've listened to more radio in the car by each Wednesday than that! The rest is either spent with computers (which I do for a living), listening to audio, and maybe some mild human-to-human interaction to round out the week.
I have to admit that my listening time has definitely dropped over the last year or two. Much of this is directly attributable to computer time while some of it is just due to being busier over all. Thanks for reminding me about this though, as i had promised myself that i need to spend less time "puting" and more time doing something productive. I'll probably end up putting this resolution to the test with the long week-end coming up. Sean
