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.
Have any of you done this
In the last 6 months I have been on Audiogon more than I listen to music. I like reading all the discussions that take place and also the classifieds. Maybe I'm just bored with my system since I haven't upgraded anything in the last year. I'm still enjoying the hobby but not listening much. Is it time for me to see a therapist or is this just normal audiophile behavior.
