How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system?


Maybe this topic is more of recommendation and sharing ideas than a question. We invested in our hifi systems for years to get to a place where we appreciate what our systems sound. Now, how do you find time to enjoy listening to music if many of us work long hours and still need to take care of family, errands etc…I don’t remember when was the last time I spent more than 2 hours a week at the most to enjoy the system I spent $$$ to build. How do you find time to enjoy your system?

In college, the music didn’t stop until late into the night.  Every Friday night the local DJ would play Martian Boogie (Brownsville Station).  It was hard for a while after college working in silence at the office.  I have had a stereo system ever since college.  Some years I would listen nearly everyday and some years maybe just a couple of hours a week.  Since retiring and building my dream system, the hour meter on my preamp shows it is powered on 1250 hours/year.  I listen about 3-5 days/week- sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the evening.

Streaming with Qobuz has opened up a whole world of music at my fingertips.  It’s great finding those 60s and 70s songs that I have not heard in years as well as new stuff that I would never get to hear otherwise.  Things are not like back in the day when we discovered new music on the radio.  So I can play my favorite records and CDs or I can explore and find new gems to listen to on Qobuz.
