Immersed in the Music

Had a rare few hours to myself as wife's friend took her out for her Bday.

We normally compromise on music and keep the volume at conversation level. She enjoys my audio system and we listen together more than not.

So being alone I had rig punching out much higher db levels than normal.

Speakers are Maggie 1.7i s which are slightly titled forward. I sat on floor closer to them and found it more immersing. So much so, my eyes were closed as I focused on the tight punchy beats of a Rush album.

The tonearm reached the end and popped up. I opened my eyes, JUMPED and let out a startled GASP!  My silly wife was sitting 3 feet in front of me stareing right at me. Needless to say we both burst out laughing.

I was definately in my element and tuned out of my surroundings.

Has anyone else gotten lost in a deep listening moment?
