Life As I knew in My Audio World Has Ended, Help

My routine has been turned upside down and I no longer have any real listening time, it's killing me. My normal weekday routine allowed me to do serious and relaxing listening at a great time, now it's gone. I would workout from roughly 4:30am to 5:20 or so, get home, shower, eat breakfast, and then listen for 45min-1 hour before heading off to work. My hours at work have been moved up one hour so I no longer have that time. Working out at another time is not an option. I figured I would have to listen at the less desirable time of late afternoon but have not gotten around to it yet. Any suggestions out there? Weekends are usually busy.

But seriously, if you really don't have time to listen to your rig, get an iPod and listen during your workout. I have a friend who is a lifelong bodybuilder and previously he was a Jr. audiophile. He now has 3 busy children and a busy work life. He now listens to his iPod during workouts and has a couple of iPod dock systems spread throughout the house. I'll bet he doesn't listen to his big rig 1-2 hours a month now.

Enjoy,

You really don't have anything to complain about. I gave up two listening rooms and eventually dismantled the system for seven years for my two kids.

My big rig is in the living room which is often taken over by kids, couch surfers, s.o. vegging out with the TV and so on. I don't think I get more than ten or twelve hours a month with it. But wow, when I do get in some listening time it's a treat !

I have a few other systems I play with and enjoy when I can't get time with the main one. There's one in the bedroom, one at work, one in my home office with the computer as source, one at the cottage. They don't reveal the music the way the big one does but they do not only provide audiophile play ( boy, do I have upgrade plans... ) but also even provide good musical moments.

Then too, there are days with no listening at all. I'm glad I have other passions.

Almost any day, I can at least put something on the bedroom system and let it play me a lullaby.

Maybe late afternoon will work out for you.
