I'm an amateur hour audiophile turned music producer. I would say so often while listening to music that I just wish artist X would change this and artist Y would change this that one day my musician friends told me to just do it myself. These days, I've given up the finer minutiae of sound systems for the straightforward sound of something I can get work done on. When I do have spare time to listen to music for fun (which isn't much), I take whatever I can get my hands on. Though I have a decent entry-level system I cobbled together in my college years, that just collects dust most of the time these days. I'm pretty open to any kind of music, though I primarily produce House and IDM, and I master primarily IDM that comes out of the IDMf Netlabel (you keep track of all that?). But really, I grew up on classic rock, punk, metal and country, I make EDM, I do work for guys in the more experimental branches of EDM/IDM, and I now listen to classical on my morning commutes and jazz in the evenings. And I'm finally starting to enjoy a little bit of the blues too (it's about time, I've enjoyed everything that descended from it!) though I'm still figuring out blues, classical, and jazz. I know some basic music theory, but just enough to get by in pop, not enough to dissect jazz or classical.
