I do....

Sometimes, I do not pay attention to the quality of the sound, soundstage, etc. But also sometimes, when I hear great dynamics, soundstaging, detail, or timber accuracy from a playback system, I get drawsn into the room from outside it.
If I listen to a "cheaper" car stereo, boombox, or radio or something, then I listen differently, and listen for content. As a songwriter/musician, I had friends who really only focused on content. I can still enjoy the music, just a bit less...

Whenever I hear systems that I think sound amazing, I enjoy the music more.

"Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"

You're talking from pro-sumer perspective - and he's talking from audiophile perspective. - carcass93 10:28:53 03/14/12 (5)

Nonsense - Prisoners 10:36:26 03/14/12 (4)

No such thing as "sounds good" - without qualifier "to me" or "to you". - carcass93 11:03:49 03/14/12 (2)
