Audio as a hobby

Hey Schubertmaniac, there's at least one former RC modeler here. Twenty-five years ago I was heavily into multi-channel scale RC. Had a 12-channel Super Connie with 7' wingspan complete to wheel brakes, flaps, cabin/cockpit lighting, and retractable AirStair.

Folks, if you think tweaking is a consuming passion for audiophiles, you should try tweaking four .60 SuperTigre engines and 12 channels of (in those days) analog radio control.

Long ago and far away. Now I bike around the neighborhood on a perfectly ordinary Cannondale, train my dog, and collect books.

CDE I've been pretty lucky I guess. The shop where I buy has found buyers for me a couple of time because they want me to buy the new one. One I sold through the local paper, and one I gave to a guy who needed it but could not afford it. I sold the last one to my sister-in-laws brother. So I don't have any good advice for you. Sorry. Jla's post looked promising though.

Bufus: Actually it is good that you find bewonderment in the
dark skies. It is more gratifying than audio many times. What makes amateur astronomy so cool is you just need your eyes, you look up and see the whole milky way. It definitely
makes you feel a sense of wonder. Oh you can go hog wild and spend a fortune on telescopes, but you need not. Plus it can very creative in an artsy kind of way with astrophotography ( probably the hardest photography to do) and it can be very precise with a definite scientific bent.
I mean real science that is useful to the professional community. I personally straddle between audio and amateur astronomy. I take long draughts of both.

Thanks, jla and nrchy.
