| Music Preferences |
In the morning I need energy: rock, pop, electronica In the afternoon Chamber works, small ensembles and solos, sometimes with a symphony thrown in if I am sleepy In the evening Jazz (1924-1965) With a little bit of 1980's and crazy pop for the kids, the family and I dance almost every evening before bath and bed. Then back to Jazz and Ambient for me until the Zzzzz's hit |
| Interests (non-headphone) |
If by non-headphone one means what other audio interests then SET amps and high efficiency speakers are of great interest to me. If by non-headphone it is meant whatever else, then it would encompass what I already outlined above with the extra room I'll add playing various clarinets and saxophones, learning new languages, watching 80's cartoons and anime, hiking, and exposing myself to complicated topics that are well beyond my understanding. |
| Gear-Fi (Favorite Non-Audio Gear & Gadgets) |
Home grown linux, Ubuntu, Macbook Pros, DSLRs and PS3s (networked folding and looking for life!) Recently, photography a D3 with various fun lenses. I'm a total newb though, so I have a lot to learn. |
