Most here would agree that music is neither a hobby nor a distraction - it is simply a most agreeable state of mind.
Listening pleasure
I listen to my system a lot--almost every day for hours--partly because I've had my share of medical issues including 3 kinds of cancer (thanks to great doctors and some luck I'm doing fine). This post is apropos of nothing but I have gotten and continue to get so much pleasure from listening-mostly to classical music. The sound of some recordings still amazes me. I'm listening to a chamber music performance of Bach's Goldberg Variations by Fretwork on Qobuz as I write this and it doesn't get much better than this. A quick anecdote-I spent lots of time auditioning speakers at different dealers. At one dealer where I listened to several, the salesman said "I notice that only when you're listening to the KEF do you really smile." He was right. HappyThanksgiving everyone!
my system: KEF Reference 5 speakers (pre meta), innuous Zenith 3, Innuous Phoenix USB,Matrix x-spdif, PS Audio Directstream mk2 Dac, Krell 175xd amp, Benchmark pre amp, Rega Planar 6, Dynavector cartridge, Audio Research phono stage, Wireworld silver starlight interconnects. I also had Sterling Trayle spend several hours positioning the speakers (anyone know what happened to,him?)
