Just curious, when you listen to music on your main system, do you feel at ease, or slightly anxious?

[decal]

 It depends, or 

[thunderbrick]

Mostly inspired, relaxed, and rockin'!   

[Diamond Dog]

Basically blissed.

Usually I sit down stressed out from the day  and leave in a much better and relaxed state of mind  .

[Ern Dog]

Well when I have a new component or tweak that I'm hearing for the first few times I'm critically listening and that doesn't relax me and can be a source of frustration.  But it can also feel excitement if it is a good improvement.

Aside from that, listening mostly relaxes me.  Sometimes it opens my heart up.  Sometimes it makes me want to dance around.  Sometimes it makes me feel sadness or joy.  It definitely connects me to my emotions.

I feel slightly anxious if I go a day or so without listening to my system.

Engaged is the best descriptor.  If it's classical, with a good recording I'm up on the edge of the seat... almost conducting.   With jazz, the old body just jukes and jives along with the beat.  With popular, it's hard to resist singing along.
