I typically surf AA (of course ). Then research stuff being discussed on AA. That's typically followed by spending more money on my system

I usually read AA or the news, or I turn the lights down with a glass of wine.

I spend a lot of time rating and organizing music too, and shopping for new music.

This poll makes realize that I spend too much time doing OTHER stuff and NOT listening to music... It's infrequent that I just sit down & listen...more often, I'm working or hanging in the kitchen with my wife. When I have the time to be alone and listen, it's nice to do so with a glass of wine or scotch...eyes closed...enjoying the immersion in pleasure.

Robert : sorry but all you need is a Shindo system . It fully takes your attention, grabs it indeed and never let go.
Just kidding ! An ARC REF system is wonderful too !

Hahaha, Jerome. It's not my system that keeps me from listening, it's my life, but you can keep trying!

Depends on the situation, so I voted all of the above.
