I think it depends on what your hobby is. If your hobby is the music, then it's good to remember that and follow the advice of the first post. But IMO, there's absolutely nothing wrong if you realize your hobby includes active participation in the delivery and facilities required for music. my personal experience is below for those who want to read on . . .
For years my primary hobby has been boating and water skiing. I pursued that with obsession, not only dealing with new Boats, Skis, upgrades and tweaks, but also buying lakefront property and building a house and dock to maximize my enjoyment.
Similarly I now actively pursue a hobby that I consider to be "audio", which is not only the music, but also the delivery, and facility. I have always been passionate about music, and it's always playing. BUT, I'm a geek, and I enjoy the active part of the hobby as much as the passive part. I find every tweak, and new piece of equipment invigorating. Not only the active part when I install it; but I'm almost always thrilled by the results when I sit and listen.
Just as my enjoyment of boating has evolved, and I no longer tweak, I'm satisfied with the boat I have and simply go out and drive it; I expect this will happen with the audio part too. At that point I will passively enjoy just the music, but will probably have some other hobby to satisfy the geek in me.
