Do you ever just listen to music

Do you ever just listen to music without critiquing your system? On Thanksgiving I listened to music for 12 straight hours without one critique. It was the most fun I have had with my system in years. I put on some of the worst recordings I have a long with the best recording and they were all enjoyable to listen to. All in all it was a fun day.

interestingly, i enjoy both the music and my system at the same time. i enjoy the music and enjoy that the system reproduces it well. i enjoy the way an artist plays a certain passage...but also that the system is revealing enough that i can enjoy those subtlies. so both at the same time in the best possible way!

my mind is always thinking about this or that sound quality but...

I really enjoy the music, usually on the radio, because it is often new to me and fresh and there is so much of it.

I do not worry about my OCD with sound quality but enjoy the benefits of learning more about this crazy hobby.

Nope. But an interesting concept. I may give doing that some thought...

I hope this question was initiated just for discussion purposes.

If you are not listening for enjoyment and the love of music what is the point?

All I ever listen for is enjoyment. Some times there's a modicum of pride as I revel in what I've assembled. I've stopped critiquing a long time ago.

All the best,
