Life As I knew in My Audio World Has Ended, Help

But seriously, if you really don't have time to listen to your rig, get an iPod and listen during your workout. I have a friend who is a lifelong bodybuilder and previously he was a Jr. audiophile. He now has 3 busy children and a busy work life. He now listens to his iPod during workouts and has a couple of iPod dock systems spread throughout the house. I'll bet he doesn't listen to his big rig 1-2 hours a month now.

Enjoy,

Work out? What's that?

You really don't have anything to complain about. I gave up two listening rooms and eventually dismantled the system for seven years for my two kids.

In Japan, the workaholic's paradise.. The latest trend is to force workers to STOP working all that overtime because it is unhealthy for human beings. Several companies are FORCING workers out at the 8 hour workday closing time.. anyone trying to hide to stay an do work is forcibly removed!
Yet the companies doing this say productivity is up!
I guess slogging through a tired, depressing 12 hour workday does little more than a happy, relaxed 8 hour day.

My big rig is in the living room which is often taken over by kids, couch surfers, s.o. vegging out with the TV and so on. I don't think I get more than ten or twelve hours a month with it. But wow, when I do get in some listening time it's a treat !

I have a few other systems I play with and enjoy when I can't get time with the main one. There's one in the bedroom, one at work, one in my home office with the computer as source, one at the cottage. They don't reveal the music the way the big one does but they do not only provide audiophile play ( boy, do I have upgrade plans... ) but also even provide good musical moments.

Then too, there are days with no listening at all. I'm glad I have other passions.

Almost any day, I can at least put something on the bedroom system and let it play me a lullaby.

Maybe late afternoon will work out for you.
