Apart from AIR simply being broken, that 'enjoying the music' aspect was a big issue for me too.
I listen to a lot of electronic genres, and there's a fair amount of vinyl dust and similar 'noises' used in the mix. But the onset of the AIR problem sounds kind of similar so I was always on edge wondering if it was the music or AIR. Sometimes it was the music, sometimes AIR, sometimes both. It drove me a bit mad at times, and that was all I focussed on 'do I need to reset AIR'. Argh.
What worried me most was leaving music playing while I was out of the room, or even out of the house, only to come back and find it out of control.
And if I'm honest, I was also really embarrassed when anyone came round, to the point I wouldn't want to play it as I couldn't bare having to explain why this shiny beautiful £5000 amp was making weird noises…… Oh, the fond memories…..
