Generally I get 5-6 hours a week. If I get 6-7 hours a week, I feel lucky. I have a teen and a 9 year old who keep my hands full with their activities. Also need to spend weekends with family. There are these rare weekends where I get to spend 2-3 hours late into the night, which screws up the next morning. But I am so thankful to my family who support me in my hobby.
How much of your free time is dedicated to listening to your stereo?
About 70 percent of my recreational time is used listening to my stereo. I will also be using my phone some of the time. I don't look at TV much at all. An occasional movie and two TV series. I'm a hardcore audiophile. Nothing else stimulates my dopamine reward system like music does. When I was 8 or 9 and discovered music, it was all enveloping in my life. I'm unbalanced but right now as I'm listening to PF "The Wall" I'm taken away to a rush of feelings and emotions. Like Jimi Hendrix said "Music is a safe kind of high".
