Most of my listening is in the car. I have a commute which is 25 minutes in the morning and 35 minutes in the evening, so I can usually get through a CD in a day, if I'm not listening to NPR, ESPN radio, or my favorite FM music station. On rare occasions, I sit in the HT and listen to an album or watch a live concert. The Epic 80/500 system is somewhat better than my car's BOSE.

i can see the instruments and, importantly, i can see the notes themselves floating in the air I've done Mescaline, too! yep, i thought that someone would come up with something like this. you're mostly wrong with that assumption; the only thing i take before i listen to music or movies is a good meal, not even alcohol. this way, i can't say: "hey, i can't remember anything, i'd taken some..." i like to know what i'm doing.

if some speakers are good for imaging, then it must not require much effort to imagine "seeing" instruments and notes in the air (room), as they sound so real and so "present".
isn't all this about high fidelity, whether audio or video, supposed to be a representation of reality? i think so, and if that representation is good enough, then who needs anything else than one's senses and imagination!

I just sleep with a CD under my pillow at night.

Seems weird...but if I get the chance, I will listen to it loud and in complete darkness. I do what Sonic does. In fact I'm standing right behind her at the time Seriously though. When I finally get the chance with new music, I'll sit on the living room couch and listen to my stereo set up with no other distractions. I don't shut my eyes though as I'll be staring out at the water which adds to my relaxation. Although, the outdoors can provide it own distractions. Eventually, I'll try it out in the HT room with 5.1 and the sub assisting. I'm not a purist either way. There is some stuff I enjoy more up in stereo and others that I find more engulfing down in the HT environment.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
