What's your profession? Age?

An ex-physicist in early 30's anyway. I am budgeting 5K for a starter system and just started reading this forum ferociously.

My years in the lab with instruments and scopes made me highly suspicious about spending $1000 on power cords and cables. So we'll see how long it will take before I get to 50K! wahaha.

Retired: (very happily).
Journeyman power lineman (Local 1547 Alaska) and eventually that led into Systems distributions dispatcher (the "low" side of the substations .. scada controlled). Moved to the "lower 48" to settle down a few years ago. Audiophile since the mid-60's.

Heavy duty recovery specialist...translation I operate a very large tow truck to handle 18 wheelers and the sort. 40 years old. On my 4th setup that worth probably about 5K.

Happy Realtor. 56. Classically nuts-ob/cmp. Classical&Jazz give meaning to the chaos.$64k & counting-not incl over 17,000 album/cd's & every hit R&R single from 1955 to 66. Addicted to MIT upgrades,RR sound,Harmonia Mundi..

I am 22 years old - started with audiophiling at the age of 15! I never owned a 'boombox' or such crap...

I am a Graphic Designer and do some freelance video editing. But I want to start manufacturing high-end turn-tables and tone-arms...

My system is ever-evolving and as far as I am concidered "price-less".

I love 2nd hand equipment - they make nice modification pieces...
