What do you do when you listen to music?


An Audiophile friend of mine surprised me when he said he listens to music for 2-3 hours per day.
And when he says "Listen" he means that he actively listens; just sits and listens.

Does not read, does not thumb through magazines... Just listens in the "sweet spot" in his living room and becomes immersed in the music.

I NEVER do that. But then I am not an Audiophile (yet).

Unfortunately, I have gotten into the nasty habit of being on the computer so that I never can tell what the stereo image is. I used to sit and read, mostly magazines, before. The best experience, though, is when the music is it and simply sweeps you away and time almost stands still. I have to get back to better lestening habits!
I've got my mac mini hooked up to a panasonic plasma in my listening room - I surf the net while playing music thru Itunes(I've ripped all my favorite tracks - about 2000 songs lossless to the mac mini) - I stop when i'm in the mood to really listen to certain tracks - of course most of the time i'm surfing about info audio (I visit audiogon,ebay (local geographic home audio area search) and craigslist) I read audioasylum and audiogon forums regularly - I can sit for hours on end this way
I listen to a disc every evening after dinner. I just sit in my leather recliner in my music room and get lost in the music. No reading, no internet, no television. Just the music.
i turn off the lights and just listen. it is awsome. i think that is why we buy all of this outragous stuff. if you dont enjoy just listening then save you money for something else and just buy a system off of the shelf.
