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 a disable Vet. by day and an exotic male dancer by night.

I just turned 68 years old , but have been told I have the body of a 50 year old.

I use my tip money to buy my equipment.
I have alot of money in my system but cannot bring it home . The club seems to need it more that me...

I am a 46 year old Architectural Photographer. I don't own an 80K system, and never will. My vintage hifi (Citation amp/preamp, Dual 1229 turntable, Grace 747 arm, Sony TC 755 reel to reel, Advent 201A cassette deck, Nakamachi OMS 4 cd player) keeps me happy. I listen daily, and love what I hear. My advice it to purchase ONE system that you can enjoy for years and years to come. Too many audiophiles get caught up in 'upgrade hell' and begin to listen for 'things, and nuances and palpability?' instead of enjoying the music.
Save yourself now.. while you're still young.
