What's your profession? Age?

I am now 40 and work Campus Safety at a local college. I have been in the hobby since I bought my first stereo from Circuit City for my 8th grade grauation. One of these days, I will get around to posting a picture of my current setup. You can see all equipment in my profile.

35. Electrical Engineer and owner of Orchard Audio

Hi,
64 retired airline pilot, living in Canada, (Montreal area), and about 15k worth of audio stuff...
What a great way to spend these snowy skies these day!

#591, reporting...*L*

68+, 'semi-retired' co-owner of a playground design/fabrication/installation company.
Previously, have been in 'n out of the commercial signage/graphics field.  Mostly, the fancy stuff....directories for lobbies, 'identity graphics' (the name over/on/next to the entry), hospitals, office buildings....'anywhere someone needed to be told where to go', and perhaps Why. *L*  Some 25ish years of that honor....;)

(It was a good cocktail party joke, BTW...
"What do you do?"
"Tell you where to go...")

Got an enormous amount of 'hands on' experience with any material one could consider using for that endeavor, and the machinery to work with it.

Current equipment is priceless, as in old, new, bought, given...everything but stolen. *L*  To replace it?....*hmmm*  maybe $4~5K, if all new.

I get the most pleasure out of my efforts at DIY'ing Walsh speakers; not the Ohm variety, but back to a variant of the original Lincoln Walsh/Ohm speakers of the '70's.

...and that's my story, and I'm sticking (or stuck) to it....;)

Play Loud. ^5's

330, anyone who retired to Montreal has excellent taste and future !
