What's your profession? Age?

HP R&D (computers)Engineering Manager. 59.

Age 62. Physicist turned high school math teacher 25 years ago. My system is a Radio Shack CD player feeding a Stax SRD-P Adaptor feeding Stax Lambda Pro headphones. I know what good sound is all about and this cheap compact system does the job for me. I can't afford multi kilobuck systems but I like to read what people who can afford them have to say. So I surf Audiogon. Call me a high-end wannabe..yeah..that's it...I'm a high end wannabe !!

33, commercial insurance brokerage owner.

Howdy Gerrym5, I used to sell Test and Measurement equipment for HP before my current employer (#2 T&M company in the world). What division do you work for? I used to work out of the Huntington office and left just before the HP-Agilent split. Just wanted to say hi.

41 year-old USAF Officer; I fly F-15Es (no my hearing isn't shot..I wear ear protection to guard my audio investment!) An active audiophile since age 17. My combined audio/home theater system rings up at about $20K...but a major upgrade is in the works!
