In Reply to: RE: Which category of home music listener are you? posted by tketcham on May 23, 2015 at 04:59:54
...category?Music lover.
I sit in front of the big system most weeknights for at least an hour listening to CDs - dedicated.
We had a bunch of people over for dinner last night and about 6 of us ended up in there listening for a couple of hours.
In the family room/kitchen and outside patio I play my iPod (6300 songs in Lossless) through the 7.1 receiver mainly used for the TV - it's convenient and background.
Also sitting in the family room reading and listening to Comcast Blues channel.
I also listen to the iPod at the gym, in the car on road trips and on an airplane - mobile.

Hi, mkuller,
I'm impressed that you had guests that wanted to sit and listen to music. Typically I'll have maybe one or two friends or family that actually like to listen to music as the main activity. Most of the people I know consider music as a background accompaniment to conversation so the music is more like a ceiling fan; heard but not noticed.
Regards,
Tom
...not everyone stayed.
9 guests came to dinner - 3 stayed to listen to music.
I have a few music loving friends - not audiophiles - who I invite over for rock and roll night a few times a year.
I have a few long time friends that still "listen to the stereo" but they live far from me so we rarely get to spend time listening anymore. Most of my newer friends aren't interested in dedicated stereo systems and consider me a bit of an eccentric. But at least there are still a few of us around.
...maybe look to your friends who like to go to concerts instead of the ones with stereos.
They are the ones I listen to music with.
That's just what happens. I go to concerts or local taverns to listen to music with friends and family. It's great, don't get me wrong, but it's not the same as the old days when you got together with friends and listened to records. I have to admit that I miss that.
Times change and so must we.
Regards,
Tom
