Do you listen intently?


How much of your time do you spend really concentrating on the music playing.  And how much time do you listen casually while doing other things?

On the vinyl systems, yes.

More casually when listening to (ad free) YouTube. 

Music is almost always on in the background while I work.  Once I’m done with work, I often sit for several hours listening intently.

Main system always invested in the music for ambient, I usually use the Sonos Play 5s and go about tasks or on the phone 

Probably about 70% intently. Having played brass instrument from the third grade through high school—concert band in HS in the 1950s and early 1960s in a California school district that had a solid music program from the 3rd grade through High Scool—and attended a fair number of Classical concerts both in the USA and Europe, I am very much “into the music.”  I will even turn out the lights after the sun has gone down to just sit and listen without visual distractions. I do this with classical and other music.   Often for hours.
