How important is spending time with your gear?


In another topic we're talking about digital input speakers, and it got me thinking about something entirely different. 

How important is it to spend time physically close to your gear, vs. enjoying it's output?  If you could have your gear in another room, or closet, and you were left with just your speakers with no audible downside would you do it?  Would you put your gear away and enjoy the empty space or do you need the physical closeness?

Clearly turntables make this a challenge, and there will be some poopy heads which don't get the question or can't stretch their imagination but for those who can, would you?

Interesting question Erik not that it is all that important. 

Agreed that it's not that important. :)

Does enjoying taking out and using the feather duster on my equipment and speakers make me a bad person?

Not if you have informed consent and your gear is more than 18 years old.

"You need to know how little I can relate to the discussion you started"

is a unique form of non-participation participation

I did kind of imagine if you hid everything you'd still have a tablet or phone like device to control everything.  That remote doesn't count.
