Accoutrements to promote listening relaxation

If I did my drinking in the afternoon, I wouldn't be able to stay awake for an evening listening session. I've been getting up for work at 3:30am for the last 20 years. It is rare for me to be awake after 8:00pm. Like to start the music and drink about an hour before sunset on the nights I don't work the next day. Fortunately I only work 3 and 4 days a week.

 

A Schumann resonator generator apparently is the ultimate listening catalyst. It relaxes you and increases the listening sensation.
Schumann waves are the electromagnetic earth frequency of 7.83 Hz.

 

another case of something i never knew existed and now i seemingly cannot live without

 

"Drinking" is a relative term; we have two beers or cocktails in our Happy Hour. We often have a small glass of wine with dinner, which is no later than 5.

I rarely drink after that, but have been known on occasion to sip a finger of single malt or a half-glass of cabernet along with my listening, but that's pretty rare.

 

It's been a while since I've had an aquarium, but aren't the filters fairly loud on them? (at least for a listening room environment)

 

Bob now is hanging on the wall.

 

A sip of Bob Dylan's bourbon while watching the leaves dance to the music.

 

nicest one ive ever seen.

 

Not all that different than mine(except mines longer ). And not as fancy.

 

my wife ordered this for me yesterday.

 

Mine were too loud for a listening room for sure, but maybe they have gotten more quiet in the last 5 years. Also, I assume a canister filter could be in another room or a closet much like people did with the pumps on the turntables that had a vacuum seal system? I love the idea of a fish tank in a listening room tbh..

 

Edibles are incredible. I'm also a major proponent of dimmer switches, and quality spirits.

Really? Curious. Are they too bright? Too busy?
I'm entranced by the meters on my Yamaha A-S3200 (they're also dimmable!)
Set them to "Peak" for very reactive needle movement or to "VU" for a much gentler sway.
Watching them while listening puts me in a great mood.

 

Low level ambient lighting and blue meters work for me

 

Do you sit on the floor cross legged?
Hippy

 

That looks like a Luxman.
Mine can be turned off.

 

Yamaha's can be switched off too.
I only turn off the meters when I'm not listening.
They're excellent mood lights.

 

Alas, no. I have had, in a different town in these isles, but I can't say more!

 

We have a small tank, and the sound is not at all obtrusive. I have to stand right next to it to hear it at all.

 

Right now a small glass of Normandin-Mercier Petite Champagne Cognac 1976 vintage. Also I pretty much always have the laptop or kindle open I must be reading something anytime I am still.

 

If I did I’d probably never be able to get up again.

 

Men in Japan tend to get really, really (really, really, really, really) drunk. The two drunkest people I have ever seen (by far) were in a subway station in Tokyo. To begin with, both had "soiled" themselves and were still seemingly having "the time of their lives".

 

Pajamas are excellent attire for relaxed listening.

 

Maybe they're doing it right?....i will get back to you after i soil myself

 

Dang... My wife and I are moving to Kyushu in a few years, and I was hoping things might have loosened up, LOL!

 

As my wife would say, "Japanese don't do half-job, we only do whole-job!"
