Based on the definition I’m demoting myself to a 3 in that though I value good sound and have an interest there I don’t consider the topic all that important really on the grand scale of things. Maybe even a 1.  Can I go negative?   As one might discern from some of my posts I often do not take a lot of things discussed here all that seriously although I find most of it very interesting. 

During Covid, I bought my first integrated amp ever and had to buy new speakers for it of course as well as speaker wires and Gaia 1 feet for the speakers.  I had never tried streaming before so I bought a streamer, then a better power supply, a better usb cable and power cord.  Since Covid ended, I haven’t bought anything new, but try to listen 2-3 hours a day.

So I guess that makes me a 6?

My sincerest apologies....due to the hour of posting, and a general dismay at your potential hazard posed by a Roon Revenge Episode (now referred to as a RRE)....

I stupidly ’dropped’ a zed.

Actual time average spent is 1 hour, 47 minutes, and 38.6 seconds.

*sigh* ....but, still....simply Not Enough...your Audio Intervention Team is gearing up unless you act immediately if not sooner....

Double...nay, Triple Time may put them on Standby....for now....😎

@curiousjim is a fine example of a Solid Listen Devotee....( Yes, a 6! 👍😃)

Go Forth, Go Four+, Go For It! 🎶😍

 

(...done with stuff for awhile....good for the next day or so....keeping the average up by not shutting anything off....;)....)*L*

+1, I completely agree with your sentiment. Music first then the pursuit of HiFi. Noble as it may be but pursuit of putting together a system that does as little harm to recorded media have been very rewarding and inspiring at the same time. BTW, care to share the champagne brand?
