Oh yes, absolutely. 

The "worst" is listening to any music / soundtrack with Tully, my 
husband, who immediately spots the instruments that anything has 
been created on, mumbles about presets, whether it's a new or old 
model Roland / Korg / Alessis / etc. etc. etc. which really detracts 
from my experiece.

We try to, but generally can't hold out longer than the first few bars
