Hi folks, I am here to educate myself as my hubby is a self confessed audio junkie! He is always fiddling with something and I thought it would be good to get some insight! If you can't beat em, join em!

That's the spirit. If all else fail you can still knit him a nice cover for his speakers. The way to a man's heart is through the things he loves, even though he may seem to love them more than you.
Hahahaha that comment was too funny. I probably shouldn't read this while drinking coffee as I just found a new project for hubby - cleaning my PC screen . Now, where is my knitting bag.....
Hmmm, I'd quite like some hand knit speaker covers . My ex-wife is not as understanding as you Taylor-Sue, I respect your attitude. I am hoping to meet a woman with the same interests as me next time round as I think it will make life easier.

Here are some random suggestions:
1. Find a new wife who can knit. Hint: Hanging around shops which sell knitting accessories can be fruitful.
2. Find a new wife who loves sound equipment. Hint: Hanging around shops which sell sound equipment can be fruitful.
3. Find a new wife who loves sound equipment and loves to knit, too. Hint: Hanging around shops which sell sound equipment and knitting accessories can be fruitful. Alternatively, hang around the fruit shop which is between the shop selling sound equipment and the shop selling knitting accessories. This can get you some fruits, at least. Or a new wife who sells fruits.
Hope that is useful.
Footnote:
Remember to do your hanging around without any rope attached. Ropes can become fatal attachments.
Reading this makes me nostalgic for the old days when men had their 'hobbies' and women had no interest in whatever they were up to! My husband was interested in trains and spent many hours in the basement doing whatever men do. It never occured to me to fret over it.

Times have changed, my friend, times have changed. Used to be when girls wait to be courted, too. Now it's the other way round. Only thing that hasn't changed yet is that girls get pregnant and boys don't.
Back to topic:
Personally, I do not think it's such a good idea to have both husband and wife sharing exactly the same hobbies. Variety is the spice of life, they say. I am not even sure that the man of the house would like his little woman messing around with his precious model trains or fine-tuned EQ, as the case might be.

This may sound horrible but if I am forced to choose between a woman and my hobby, I wouldn't have to think twice about it. Unless womanising is my hobby and it isn't.
Let's face the naked truth. When two persons join their lives together, in matrimony or otherwise, the union must be based on mutual respect. Don't expect, or worse still, force the other person to be a clone of you. So what if my passion is surfing the net and my little woman gets her high from surfing the malls. At the very least, we would have different things to tell each other about.
Humm I like having the same hobbies as my significant other as I'm not really a people-person. I'm a homebody, don't like shopping, crowds, well, I don't like a lot of things that involves being around massive crowds of people. I don't like having to deal with people either. I don't know why lol. I'm jut a natural introvert. I love nature and music and I'm so glad I found somebody who loves doing the things I do!
Yeah variety is always good, but I like having variety in the things I'm interested in. I don't really want to have to hear his updates on football matches he's betting on and I bet men wouldn't want to hear about what colour shoes matches which dress if they had a choice.
I guess it's up to what the individual wants in a relationship. I certainly wouldn't want to force myself into liking something I know there's no way in hell I'd be interested in. I'd TRY, but as soon as I get a bad vibe, I'm letting it go, like it or not.
