I'm certain I've mentioned this a dozen times, but I'm retired. I now live in a small town that doesn't have a lot of places to hang out in so I have plenty of time to indulge in stereo listening. The views out my stereo room windows are fabulous, and the glass windows don't upset the imaging particularly much. I don't find the rituals involved in high-end listening onerous in the slightest. Just type cast me as the cheerful old audiophile!
