How many hours weekly do you listen to your system


It seemed that back in the 60's and 70's more time was spent listening to music.Today with video games, cable TV ,computers and forums like this one less time is set aside for listening.
Our equipment costs much more then it did back then and hopefully it sounds better.Why then dont we listen more.

i listen approx 30+ hours per week.

but i also work about 55 hours per week.....6 days a week (1/2 days on Saturdays).....and i don't work from home (although i'm always on call).

i wake up early and typically listen for 1.5-2 hours before work (the wife is asleep) as my system is in a separate building from my home (a barn). at night i have dinner and spend time with the wife but then go listen for another 2-3 hours before bed. sometimes the wife joins me for awhile and sometimes not (we've been married for 33 years and have 2 grown children).

i don't watch commercial TV except sports and the occasional movie in the HT. during baseball season i listen a bit less as a watch baseball nightly (or until the Mariner's are getting stomped).

Saturdays is typically 2-3 hours in the morning and another 3-4 hours afternoon or evenings. Sunday can be 2-3 hours or maybe up to 10 hours.....it depends on what the wife is up to and whether it's football season (Direct Ticket on Directv).

if guys are over for a listening session it can be an all day thing.

i do spend time on the laptop while listening about 60% of the time.....so it's not always 'just' listening.
