I generally have something playing, but I'm lucky to have that option. A 'live/work' situation gives one that option....especially when one's half of the management....;)
Relatives are either on the West coast or 3 states away and I can't play at those levels. (*damn!*) *L*
"Serious Listening Hour" is generally late, with no distractions. That can be for critque' or just for the 'ell of it, enjoying the freak fruit of my endeavours...
The rare person who gets a demo is either easily impressed because they've never heard anything like it. Most are hardly what I'd call 'audiophiles' in the sense of never being around enough 'things esoteric' to have a opinion other than being impressed by the degree of my interest and involvement....
Spouse is my best critic at this point....but she prefers a level of simplicity in 'operation'. That's one reason for multiple systems....;)
Works in progress....*G*
Play often, J.
