Three things I’ve learned about listening.

"All successes create satisfaction."

But the greatest satisfactions comes from "rolling your own" rather than paying for someone else to "roll it for you."  

@rvpiano Great post, truly inspired. Like a lot of people (I expect), I do my most critical listening AFTER I buy a new component. Most of the time, I congratulate myself on having a system that sounds so good— to me. Other times, it is just in the background. I also listen more when I retreat to my ‘listening room’ rather than have music playing while I scroll on my phone, read the newspaper, or check my messages. The phone doesn’t come out in ‘the listening room’.

Staying up late listening to Rhiannon Giddens… 

I, too, don’t understand this hobby.

@markcasazza 

@secretguy didn’t say he didn’t understand this hobby. He said he didn’t know why it was a hobby. Not the same. Would you go into any other enthusiast forum, be it cars, guns, boats, etc., and tell the participants what they are doing is not a hobby?
