Doe you enjoy your listening to music and your system more with others or alone?

It’s no doubt that us as Audiophiles spend a lot of time listening to music by ourselves. It’s just the way
it’s, a hobby most others don’t understand. So do we prefer to listen by ourselves or is it more enjoyable 
with others? For myself, I generally enjoy listening by myself. Usually when another Audiophile friend is over listening it becomes more about the sound ( system ) than the music. Also, they only want to hear
music that brings out the best in the system and for myself let’s just listen to what’s playing. 
Non-Audiophiles tend to get bored easily if they don’t like the music, and can be even more picky about
what music you play for them. Non-Audiophiles put no value in the sound. They only want to hear their favorite music and that can be even more frustrating. At least acknowledge it ( sound ) even if you can’t hear the difference.
For myself it’s more enjoyable alone, but that doesn’t mean all the time, or does it?

Every system has its sweet spot.  Mine is no exception.  I enjoy most listening to my favorite music in that sweet spot, being carried away into the original performance.  That is not a crowd activity. 

I do not require my system to be approved by others.  I'm beyond satisfied with my system performance to the point that I can get lost in the music and not distracted by the system.  

I listen alone.    I have friends with excellent systems that also listen alone for the same reasons.
