Quick poll: Listening at night, lights ON or OFF ?

I would imagine the majority of listeners are in the dark regarding this question. I too prefer subdued room lighting, with a dedicated spot lamp on the rack for the turntable of course. Ever notice how the music sounds better when your eyes are closed?

Off when alone, or extremely low if with company.

On only when necessary... like finding a remote, drink, phone, etc., and then using the lighting remote, very dimly so as to avoid being blinded temporarily.

Off 90% of the time.

Low or off except when dealing with the stylus.

Maybe a candle...
