Has Your Hobby Changed?

On the cusp of big changes so curious how things will play out. After decades in a shared living area working around everyone’s music preferences and the TV I am building a home with a dedicated room that will be acoustically isolated from the rest of the house. Though I expect to continue working for a number of years I anticipate retreating to my space to listen to what I want when I want. I’m guessing I’ll be dipping deeper into my rock and jazz collection and will spend less time listening to chamber music and female vocals at low volume. About a year away but looking forward to the next phase of my audio journey.

@dodgealum Enjoy!

It absolutely hasn’t changed. The only reason I bought my gear is so that I can listen to music. I didn’t buy my gear to just look at it.

Mine changed dramatically when I bought a streamer and   subscribed to Qobuz. I use it more than the turntable and CD player and FM tuner combined. I've discovered so much great music and am always searching for the next great thing.  Retirement didn't hurt, either.

Other activities have encroached on my listening sessions.  I'd say the trade offs have been an overall positive change for an aging audiophile.  Even with significant hearing loss, those listening sessions remain very special.

Enjoy the music.  And, life and living.
