I am a retired engineering geologist. 30 Years in foundation exploration, geotechnical instrumentation, groundwater clean up etc. Worked another 10 years as a sub-surface geophysical tech doing ground penetrating radar, electrical resistivity surveys, some seismic work etc. I have always been an audiophile even before I even knew what it meant. Built my first system in the air force with a Knight kit tube amp, some home made speaker cabinets and a Thorens TD 101 tt I got at a pawn shop. It has been uphill ever since as time and funds allowed. Listen mainly to jazz and classical.
What do/did you do for a living?
With the increasingly high priced items people own and are selling, I'm curious about the line of work people do or have done. I thought my $5k integrated was a massive investment, but seeing users searching for $100k speakers or $75k SET amplifiers has me curious about the varying lines of work people do to afford these items.
