What do you do when the kids come along?


Dear Friends,
Soon in a matter of 6 weeks I will be celebrating my nuptials and if all goes well I believe I can see kids on the horizon. I am curious how the birth of a new child may change your audio experience. I am wondering this since my speakers were bought used from a gentlemen on this web site (hi bruce, love the speakers) who sold them when he had his first child. Will I ever have time to listen to my music again? Is this yet another thing they didn't tell me about when I popped the question?

I used to have my own tube radiola(record player combined with tuner amp and speakers) at the age of 4 along with collection of records including 78rpm.
Well, I don't have any dedicated listening room and my rig is in my living room. My son now is a-bit above 1 and he already broke a toggle(power) switch on my phono preamp. I wasn't dissapointed at all since my son is much more dear to me than my rig -- I've just ordered one and soldered back. He loves to tap the speaker drivers, but now he already understands my command to leave it. He knows already that tube amps I have is hot so he never even looks onto them. I believe that in half more year or less I will have no problem leaving my rig without risk.
My wife very often have to turn on music for him to listen while he eats.
