How serious are you?


On a scale of 1 to 10 with ten being totally obsessed, how serious are you about this hobby?  Explain please. Thanks.

A 10+ while I built the house of stereo and the ensuing 3 years to get it just right to my ears. Now it's smooth sailing and I feel I have regained my sanity.

@ghdprentice nice!  I may be ready to retire sometime not too far ahead as well.   Still mulling over what I might do then. 

When I had my house built I had speaker wires run in wall throughout the house and the room my gear is in fully insulated with solid wood door.  Maybe that bumps me up a point or 2?  

I am not a hoarder but I do have a spare amp or two, extra preamp, extra tuner, extra DAC , extra speakers ,  back up sources just in case something dies or needs service.   Can't be without music , it's a major way for me to unwind.
