Do you listen to equipment or music.

This Blog got me to thinking about the subject:

In the past I have spent hours listening to the same part of the same song just to fine tune various components of the of the audio system. I even move speakers and listen - move them again and listen more. Sometimes I wonder what I am doing. Whatever it is, when I get into this mode, I am not listening to the music.  It would be nice how the community feels about listening to music or equipment.

After giving it a lot of thought, I believe the mechanisms of listening for sound and music are almost unrelated.  Somehow, audiophilia gets involved in our ego, 
even our self worth, so the quest is ever ongoing.  When we listen for music, it’s a soul gratifying endeavor with no need to prove anything.  If anything, it nourishes the self.

That will be two cents please, for the analysis.
