or Learn to Live With It.
In June 2018 (if we don't kill each other first) my wife and I will celebrate 50 years of marriage. She loves music primarily for its rhythmic values, and she does not want to be sitting when listening to music, except at certain live performances. Classical music is just noise to her. She has been pretty tolerant about my overbearing hi-fi systems, but in houses where I have a whole room for hi-fi she has chipped away at me with respect to "decorating", which is FAR more important to her than hi-fi. My constant experiments and driver testing and the gear all over the place bug her, and every once in a while, she says something about it. As far as "deep listening", this has always been a solo activity for me. I look at her lately and realize I love her more than ever. I realize I am a fringe nerd, while she is poised and fairly social, and I'm glad she puts up with me. Plus, she is a great cook!
Best regards,
