It would be interesting to know what other things interest the audiophiles who are obviously so passionate about hi fi and Audiogon. I am similarly obsessively interested in cars and motorcycles. What are your interests?
Gardening, model railroading, cooking, guitar (I hesitate to use the term for fear of being prosecuted for misrepresentation) playing and debating at the drop of a hat.
blading, hiking, skiing (snow and water), b&w and color photography, writing, live music (NEw Orleans), play guitar and keyboards, traveling, biking, collecting dinosaur fossils
Although my fingers are getting beaten up by frequent automotive work (not to mention trying to cram 10AWG into dedicated outlets and junction boxes!) I treasure my time at my Steinway B.
Telescopes, and all the wonders they open for you. This pursuit is indentical in every aspect to true love of hi-fi! The dynamics are exactly the same from first exposure to the sky, to the rewards given for your efforts to learn and grow, the emotional impact, and of course, the gear itself. Your first crystal skied night with a "mid-fi" or "high-end" scope is like the first time you hear a great tube amp, or your first sit down with a pair of killer electrostatics.
