Check out this editorial, as it directly relates to critical listening vs listening for pleasure.

Personally, the only time I listen critically is when choosing and/or evaluating a component or a tube. I like AM radio, and I like DSD recordings played back on a system that can resolve the proverbial wart on a gnat's ass. Each has its place.
