What's your profession? Age?

53, outside of the house I am a litigation attorney. At home I am butler, porter, handyman, and sometimes floor mat.

Close to 2 years ago I wrote "53, outside of the house I am a litigation attorney. At home I am butler, porter, handyman, and sometimes floor mat."

UPDATE-

55, outside of the house, I am a litigation attorney. At home, I am the king of my castle.

Got rid of the albatross, and my system has never sounded so good!

Recently turned 60. My interest in stereos and music predictably go back to my teen years- first heard of AR, KLH, Dual etc. around 1974. Cobbled together a system in 1975 or 1976 out of old bits and pieces. By 1977 I bought a basic system - receiver, speakers and turntable- in 1977. I was already aware of the likes of McIntosh, Rectilinear, etc by then. By 1978 I heard of Dahlquist and others. First trickle of hi-end interest was in 1982 or 1983 and my first hi end purchase (ie, non mass market gear) was a Thorens table in 1985. By 1989 I had Adcom electronics and magneplanar speakers. 

I am an attorney; I’ve also worked in a factory, retail sales, and a pro photographer.
