I find that so many audiophiles are trained by the "gurus" and "experts" in this hobby to listen to sounds. Sit down to listen with many "experienced" guys, and they are listening analytically.
So many guys, who have spent tens of thousands of dollars on their systems, are fidgeting, thinking of what to swap in or out and what to upgrade ... instead of tapping into the feeling of the music.
For those who are interested in the latter, this interview with Rick Rubin is very enlightening
I also recommend Rick Rubin's best selling book called The Creative Act: A Way of Being
