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.

Probably a 3. I’ve not turned on my stereo in 4 months. Too hot to sit in a sweet spot and listen intently. I’m on the cusp of buying a new set of tube mono’s so I’m certain that’ll start the fire again. Winter is better for tubes and Class A listening. And I’m retired so I’ve got all the time in the world to catch up!

I am obsessed with listening to music and I regularly add more music to my collection. In terms of gear I’m off the carousel. My system is more than sufficient. If I see something that strikes my fancy I might be tempted but it really takes a lot. 
 

So in terms of music- I’d say a 9

In terms of new gear- 2, maybe

I live in the Pacific Northwest and have air conditioning. My 38 tubes are providing wonderful sound.

 

It sounds like you are postponing listening for more than a few days. Also, climate change will make the number of days that are over 90 much larger.
