Why for the life of me I can’t stay awake when listening to Music?
I really don’t understand how someone can stay all night long listening to music? I read reviewers saying I started listening for hours till 2-3 in the morning. Well, I am 62 yo and as soon as I play music man I feel sleepy. I don’t think that is listening fatigue, it must be the opposite of it. I become so relaxed and my eyes start shutting down lol. Is that normal? Is it my equipments that makes me feel so relaxed or is it my advanced age? Can I do anything different to my system?
I am not sure if this topic came up before and may sound silly but I thought I ask in case someone else on this forum has the same issue.
My system:
McIntosh c2700
Mcintosh Mc 452
Revivalvaudio Atlante 5
Garlubidor divinity dac
Eversolo T8
cables Audience throughout.
Thanks for sharing your experience and input in advance!
Very recently, Google suggested I was suffering from indigestion. 24 Hours later I was admitted to Hospital, remaining as a patient for 8 Days with a Heart Condition. My consultant, I believe, got great pleasure from informing me about how crappy Google is for a health diagnosis; I’m sure the Golf Club members were holding their ribs through laughter pains when my story was retold. |
Some of the most enjoyable moment for me is when I am able to fall into the music with my eyes closed and stay at the edge of being awake and not. Sometimes I can just stay there for a long time... crossing back and forth across the line. Sounds like you have a great system. Being able to relax totally... is great. You still working? Retired yet? |
I love how my system sounds. I sit exactly in the sweet spot. Eyes closed. No talking. I listen attentively for soundstage and imaging cues, spectral balance, timbres, clarity and dynamics. Well-recorded albums sound so realistic they elicit goosebumps. Two hours is plenty of time to get my fix. Until another day... I LOVE my system, setup, and dedicated room. |
@ghdprentice That is exactly how I feel. Still working but because I work from home, I have time to enjoy my system and my music collection. |
