What's your profession? Age?

44, Artist. System retail cost 22.5k-While I've been in this hobby for 25 years, over the last 5 years I've completely upgraded my 10 year old system. Replacing EVERYTHING at least once but other than power cords never three times. Finally arriving at a point of absolute satisfaction, but will continue because I love the process as much as the arrival. Next upgrade, Shunyata Hydra PLC, additional TubeTraps, Brimar 12at7 tubes for VAC, Art Q dampers for passive, Poly Crystal cones to replace stock footers on PLC.

Hi, 40 year old mechanic supervisor in the phamacuetical industry. System list at $25k paid $10k. Chstob, if the commodities you're brokering are drugs, that might explain the power cords. Be careful though, Pcc is a cop right above you.
