In Reply to: RE: Critical listening & Just relaxing listening posted by Kindablue on May 26, 2017 at 05:45:54
I only listen critically when evaluating one component vs. another. I also find that my ability to do this effectively is time limited. Perhaps 30 minutes is the max. By contrast I can listen to music for hours and hours and never get tired of it. An interesting side note that I have discovered about my own listening habits is that if I am going to listen to music as a primary activity I like vinyl best unless there is an interesting program on the radio (getting rarer), but if music is an adjunct to other activities such as reading, cooking, corresponding (like now), CDs work far better as they require far less of my attention.
Follow Ups:
Thanks for replies, I notice that when I don't get too involved in the "critical listening" I often hear what I was trying to find out about like the break in of tubes or the unit itself I will be listening and say something sounds different nice then later I will realize the new phono pre must have broken in some. I would imagine cables would be the hardest at a certain point. My cables are solid but nothing along the lines of what I have seen posted.
