Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio)


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?

Well I have had so many hobbies over the years and was obsessive compulsive about each of them when I was involved. They include woodworking (28 years now, little time for this these days), swimming (the best excercise and kept me in the best shape of any activity I've ever done), bicycling, basketball, softball, karate (black belt) and sport cars. If I could afford one and had the time I would own another Porsche, to me the ultimate fun driving machine short of a Ferrari. Now I have committed myself to learn the piano. I have waited too long to fulfill this desire but I don't expect I'll have another chance if I don't get started NOW!! Have purchased over the past couple of years "The Teaching Company" tapes which cover a wide variety of subjects from religion, phlisophy, physics, music, business to Shakespere's plays. I listen to these in the car when traveling and highly recommend them to all. It puts our world in a better perspective to me. www.teachco.com
Hey Trelja How bout them Eagles? I'm in a dilemma, Eagles or Tampa Bay? Da Eagles.
Yes Charlie I have listened to that one (48 lectures, it took a lot of driving time I'll tell you) He is a superb lecturer and I highly recommend it. You don't have to be a "low brow" to be humbled by Greenberg's knowledge of his topics. I think all who would listen could learn something and enjoy. It covers music from Classical Greece through and up to the Modern era. A must for anyone who calls himself a music lover.
El Dragon very erotic "Bare Naked Ladies" I also like your post impressionist and cubist work. Keep pluging and remember it usually takes a rich patron to make it to the big time otherwise Picasso may have remained unknown. Albert Porter your art as your audio system is a reflection of the man. World Class, I'm impressed.
