Three. Main, library / fireplace head phone system, and office. The first two on my profile. Ok, maybe four… one for breaking in interconnects and cables… mostly Schiit.
I don’t count our great home theater system… Meridian surround processor, Rotel amp, and B&W 800 series speakers and two 800 series subwoofer… of course that doesn’t count the bedroom home theater either… but that is just has a 65” tv and Sennheiser Ambeo sound bar.
That doesn’t count my portable headphone system with an A&K SP1000 DAP with Add on amp and Focal Utopia headphones.
I don’t think my car counts with a Mark Levinson system.
Hmm, I am starting to think obsession may be a better description of me than just passionate.
When in my twenties, as a geologist… I carried a huge 100 watt per channel system with detachable speakers to my motel room (typically 3 weeks in one place)… two briefcases of tapes (120 albums) I recorded with a high end Nakamichi tape deck with Dolby C and played through the incredible top of the line Reference Sony Walkman using the best Sennheiser portable headphones..
Ok… I am hearing it now… obsession…
In Japan for the better part of a year… a CD player with external amp.. (4 sized D batteries) in a special purpose black murse and Grado headphones.
Ok… yep… obsession. But honestly, I have always felt that if I was committed and bounced off the rubber walls laughing… I don’t care as long as I am having a great time.
