Have any of you done this

I was doing the same thing. My computer/music server is located in an office 20' from my listening room. I was using my main rig for background music. Life changed when my Son needed a new laptop for school. We bought a Macbook w/wireless which he uses only one day a week. The rest of the time it is sitting on a table, to the right of my listening chair. Having a computer in my listening room has tripled my time with my rig.

Not me, I'm never on AudiogoN. 60% of the time I'm on AudiogoN 0% of the time. :^)

I think it's time to try out some new/different upgrades.. Now that would be normal audiophile behavior.

That's funny, I've been thinking the same thing myself. There's tons of days I'm here and not listening to my system. I think it's just a reflection of your/our love of the hobby and the equipment. It's part of the hobby.

Walking away is great, I have been out of town most everday for a couple weeks and the time away makes it better when you listen again, so walk away for a bit here and there....your gear will be there when you return.
