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...

Philosopher. Well, grad student, anyway. I'm 25. I might have had a Ph.D by now if it weren't for audio. I'm also the secretary of an Early Music society. I've sort of lost track, but my system (two-channel, single source) is worth about $18,000 retail at present.
22 year old Medical Student out in Toledo, OH. Began listening to hi-fi as a hobby during my first year in school. Listening to good sounds is really a good way to wind down and relax. I am putting together a 2 channel system from components from the early 90's. I have spent about 2K on my system so far...with no end in sight. I absolutely love this obsession. Musical tastes include R&B and Classical.
