What do/did you do for a living?

I am a retired MD. I have an Oppo bdp205, nad t778, mark levinson 585 (2nd hand), psb imagine t2 speakers, psb center, sides , back speakers, and a sony 65" tele. Frankly, it works just fine....musical, good imaging...not a sonic halogram but a very decent sound experience.

Aeronautical engineer working on aero-engines for over 40 years until I retired early in 2012. My love of audio got its real start in college, when one of my roommates brought his Quad ESLs to our shared apartment in London. As he was an electrical engineer, he built his own preamp, and I think he had a Rotel amplifier, and a Thorens turntable with SME arm. For the time it sounded amazing, and it infected me. So now I have a pair of Quad 2812s in my basement system, with an updated Sota Millenia turntable and Oppo 205 into a Nakamichi CA7 that I found on Audiogon. The amp is an Anthem A2. The upstairs AV system is KEF 207/2 and 202/2C fronts with B&W dipole surrounds, with Marantz 8805 prepro, an Oppo 105 and Anthem P5 multichannel amp. No Atmos yet, but there is no end in sight for my affliction, once I can accommodate an 86 inch TV.

Typo: Quad 2905s

I do systems engineering for deep space missions. I won’t be getting those $100,000 speakers without a lucky lottery ticket. Fortunately, there are a lot of good speakers available for under $5000, especially if you’re willing to buy used!

Backup Power Battery Sales for the past 20 years and still going.   Got in to car audio as a youth, then focused on home theater, and now finally two channel.   Love the hobby!!!
