I do a little of both. There is a lot of music I love, of course, and I listen to it as much in my car as I do on my home hifi systems. My car system is good but not great, so I'm definitely not listening to the equipment there.

And really, even on my high-end stuff, I only "listen to the equipment" when I'm doing new development, setting it up or dialing it in. Those times, I'm hypercritical and listening for anomalies. In that phase, I'm running test/measurement equipment too. I find a few cuts that show me specific anomalies and I listen for them.

But once a system is dialed-in, I stop listening to the equipment and just enjoy the sound. I leave it that way for years, sometimes decades even. So I'd say most of my life, I'm listening to the music. I do have a lot of experience listening to the equipment though too.
