What's your profession? Age?


Just thought after the "how much is your system worth" post that it would be nice to see what all these people do to get $80K systems, and perhaps how long it takes. I'm a 29-year old economist for the gov., just completeed my Ph.D. last month, and my system is at about $10K. Just a pup hoping to keep upgrading...

Ok, I'm a geek. Was wondering if the data in this thread might be useful, so I charted the ages.

Interesting. Only 3 out of 304 responses were age 60+. Now is that representative of the true audiophile population, or does it reflect computer and Internet savvy? Maybe loss of hearing? I really don't know, and am curious to hear your theories and interpretation of the data.

I found it comforting to see so many in the younger 20 to 35 group. Seems high-end isn't going anywhere. The 35 to 55 group is huge.

Actually, it doesn't work that way. If the population density stays constant, then the graph is correct as is. The date you made your post does not matter. Density is density.

I realize this is not obvious to anyone without a mathematics background. But easy to illustrate. Instead of 6 years, what if the survey had been going on for 60 years? Got it?
