Anyone else prefer listening to their system more than a concert?


I know I do. It seems like most people on this forum don't feel that way. That's OK. To each his own. 

For me, I like being able to control the volume. I like choosing what song I want to hear. I like not being in a crowd. I like hearing the music without any distracting sounds from others. I like the privacy. I like the convenience. I think my system sounds wonderful. I'm a happy camper.

Just my opinion. Not trying to change anyone else's mind.

Enjoy the music! Whichever way pleases you.

I tried concerts when young... 50 years ago...

I tried vinyls too ... smiley

I sticked with my Bach  and other thick  good classical  pressings till cd and i  stop buying defective vinyl  ....Then bad cd appeared but this time i had no other choice, my vinyl were used a lot, my turntable dead ...I succeed to create good sound only when retired i had time to understand acoustics and basic gear synergy ...

 

I renounced concerts soon because i am allergic to crowd....(more than 2 people is crowd, except  for family which is OK )...

 

I like people a lot, one on one though....

I change street if they are crowdy......

i like almost all  men individually a lot , humanity as a crowd i hate it....

 My actual system is so good you must pay me to go to concert, save if it is a Marian Anderson concert, or  Bach concert with my loved interpreters ( mostly all dead). 

I treat concerts/live performance differently than home listening.  I enjoy going to the symphony occasionally usually for special occasions like Itzhak Perlman or Yoyo Ma.
