Fall asleep was probably meant to be funny (and it is) but I think something more is going on. I do just listen and preferably with my eyes closed. I think my best listening sessions feel almost like sleep, but I know I am still listening. Maybe it should be called a kind of meditation. I think this is what great music and a great system achieves for me. If there is something irritating about the sound, I don't get there. It took me a long time to achieve this with digital media, whereas analog almost always got me there.
