What made you select "audio" as your hobby

I met a guy in a cafe and we got into the whole pro vs hi-fi audio argument. He invited me to listen to his system that was probably worth the entire gear list in the studio I was at during the time. Scoffing at the waste of money I sat down and heard a breadth and scale I never heard before, on my own recordings!! There are different requirements, but ever since I've been trying to break down some of the attitude that can exist betwen the groups. In the end it's all about enjoying the music and keeping the money spent hidden from the wife!

Yes,well hidden from the wife.sometimes i wonder why they aren't more into it.My wife loves music,hears much better then i do and yet doesn't understand the emotion that one can feel when Gerry Mulligan's baritone sax plays beneath Chet Bakers Trumpet and then takes the lead.Of course she doesn't understand the cost for this either

My older brother had a Duel TT, a Pioneer intergraded and a pair of JBL's. This was 1975. That's all it took..

I walked into biology lab at age 14 as a high school freshman and the teacher had classical music playing on a mono system and I was a dead duck. That was 64 years ago and I'm still hooked.

An electric shock received playing with a record player as a kid. ⚡️⚡️ Sent me over the edge. 🤪
