Career Resources
Lifting heavy weights. Playing piano. Hinge
BSD?
Boxing, Golf, Tennis, & Skiing in the winter/Hiking in the summer
Aside from all the finance and regular stuff such as chilling with friends, playing basketball, watching or listening to any history or science stuff, playing jazz drums, 2K, and lifting weights. Pretty simple
Video games, cars & car culture, music and proper stereo equipment (hence the username), podcasts from all over the place to expand my mind. Unlike what seems to be 90% of other members here, probably need to work out more and make that a hobby too.
I picked up a home audio system right as COVID started and fell down a rabbit hole haha, man this is one expensive hobby!
I have a a pretty basic set up currently:
- Denon AVR X1500 Reciever
- Denon DP300F Turntable with a Red Ortofon
- Canton Chrono 502 Bookshelf speakers on stands
- Canton Chrono 505 Center
- BIC Venturi 10” Sub
Mainly use these to listen to vinyl and am waiting a couple years before upgrading since they sound pretty solid to my ignorant ears haha.
Alright, alright, alright. Sounds like a good setup to me. I'm a UK kind of sound guy (audio guys will know that means), so for me it'd have to be Rega or NAD. Linn or NAIM is trading on brand name, not actual quality these days. Elex MK4 receiver, Planar P3 turntable (which I sadly do not have yet but fully intend to), For speakers? RX3's or 5's. Also wouldn't need a sub anyways then either. But if I did have one it'd be another Jamo 10", assuming I want to get constant calls from the front desk about other neighbors complaining. As it stands though: Brio-R, Kytes, Sennheiser HD598's. And if I really want to, the C326BEE and Paradigm SE3s are in the closet, and those suckers are rated up to 140w and built for bi-amping. It'd be a shame if the Brio-R and C326BEE were each rated 'at 50w/ch' but really put out closer to 65w/ch.*wink wink*
Give me the chance to snag an Audio Research tube amp and Wilson speakers though?! "Game over man! It's game over!"
And yes, this is a very expensive ass hobby. You don't even want to know how much the McIntosh system I grew up with costs when I looked it up twenty years later. Also blame it's magnificence for dragging me into this world in the first place lol.
What about headphones? I'd go Sennheiser, but not like the new KEFs aren't good or a pair of Grados either. Thankfully between the three of them it's like "do you prefer ScarJo, Kunis or Margot Robbie?"
Golf, Surfing, Swimming, firearms training (both static range and dynamic tactics drills like clearing "killhouses" (CQB)), was beach running daily till I tore my meniscus while overdoing it recovering from heart surgery (now running is more occasional), audiobooks, big fan of cinema, hiking and frisbee with my Australian Shepherd. Used to work out frequently, but I am more restricted in strength training exercises as a result of my surgery and the cardiovascular risks (been told I'm going to need another slightly less major surgery within the next 2 years to fix a pseudoaneurysm that formed as a result of the first surgery), and nature photography.
Three-gun? My thing is trap/skeet since I also bird hunt.
Flight sim
fixing cars, detailing cars, building cars, driving, road trips
sometimes also motorcycles
Reading, lifting, golfing, travel, visiting niche restaurants. Would love to add an instrument to this but I just don't have the time, this stuff keeps me busy
Powerlifting, gaming, musicals/concerts when I can.
Books and running. Books are good to end the day and be more interesting. Running I do before my family wakes up, and wakes you up and alert during the day. With a family I have maybe an hour for hobbies everyday. And also whiskey, it’s necessary at my age.
mostly just making music right now
put out 22 songs on streaming so far this year
.
Triathlon, Muay Thai, BJJ, large scale abstract modern art, poker tourneys, surfing, snowboarding (national competitor).
I always see you put national competitor for boarder cross. When did you compete? What league?
USASA Pro / Open Boardercross Category - 2018 Nationals in Copper Mountain, CO.
I also competed as a junior and was ranked in my age group in high school as 34 in the nation, competing at Waterville Valley, NH. I've qualified other years at nationals, but can't always make it there due to work conflicts.
If you replace surfing with chess, this sums me up too. How long have you been training bjj?
Jiu jitsu and chess
My sound boring but studying and learning about my interests; business models, exotic sports cars, property prices...........
