Audio as a hobby

P.S. I generally don't listen to my home system "passively." In other words, if there are any other distractions in the house or I'm cleaning up, cooking, etc., I don't bother listening. I only fire up the home system when I can dedicate my full attention to it. I listen to most of my music in the car because I have a 30 minute drive to work.

Cycling
Used to race in the good old days and I'm still good for about 7000 miles a year all in the warmer part of the year. In the winter XC skiing is nice too. I use to golf some.

It's good to have other hobbies because you quickly realize
that we audio folk are not any different than other hobbiests. A whole slew of jargon developes. The arcane discussions about titanium, hollow cranks, dimple flight patterns can compare with the best of what we do!

I remain,

Other than golf, my other hobby is also music. I sing in a couple professional choir groups (large and small chamber).

This is actually the most rewarding. It has brought me in contact with people like Dave Brubeck, The Kings Singers, and Peter Schickele (PDQ Bach and Schickele Mix on NPR).

We are performing for the third time with Dave Brubeck in Baltimore this coming March. We made a recording with Dave last year (not out yet).

Clueless, does titanium really ride that much better than my Klein aluminum?

I should add that although I view audio as being a passive hobby....I don't consider myself a passive listener. Sure, I have music going in the house almost all the time, but there are those moments when I do listen critically.

Clueless...good to see that you are riding....7000 miles a year...way to go.
