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...

I am an aquatic scientist, pretty close to what Swampwalker is, but ten years younger!
I'm a high school student confused what to major in college. I've norrowed my decision to working in my on coming audio adiction, but I'm not sure what profession would best suit me. I'm not srue where to go to college, waht classes to take to better prepare myself. What I do know is I want to work in the audio field, like testing speakers, I know that requires a lot of ear training but I have a good start to that. I've been to a lot of concerts and a lot of bands to better prepare myself for a good start of ear training. But what I need to do is listen to more equipment that falls in the audio/video (A/V) catoegory
Hi, I am an engineer in the aerospace industry with a strong interest in cognitive psychology. I also play the trombone, the piano, the guitar, and had a band when I was in high school and college for 10 years. My interest in music and electrical engineering has made being an audiophile a natural interest. My system has evolved over 30 years and is currently about 40K retail.
52 year old music educator who has been collecting 78's, LPs, and CDs his whole life. Have just committed 16k to my new & used audio equipment purchases over the last 3 months; Space-Tech QA-115 Tube pre-amp; Space-Tech VP-105 Tube amp; Linn Sondek LP12 turntable; Sony SACD 777ES CD Player; Space-Tech DA64X-T Tube D/A Converter; Dynalab Magnum MD-90 Tuner; Sonus Faber Signum speakers; REL Stadium III subwoofer; Monster MTS-5100 Power Conditioner; VPI 16.5 record cleaning machine and soon to purchase a Sistrum rack. This is a big step for me from my last piece of audio equipment purchased in 1988.Fortunately my wife hasn't left me and still seems to be supportive of my audio endeavors.
