What's your profession? Age?

21, going on 22 in a month. Chemical Engineer PhD candidate (unofficial, haven't taken quals). Without a stereo system for years and just started building my first system, budgeting around a meager 2K. Classical music nut in love with the old masters. Interests in 19th century art criticism, literature and old movies. At work I speak biotech and fluid/interfacial dynamics.

20, Philosophy/ poli-sci student. My system is worth about$2150 Canadian ($1500US) and cost about half that on an assortment of deals and used items.

Radio programmer. 50 something. $50k something.

45, cable tv tech full time, electronics retail warehouse worker part time. Own 3 systems (for each room), cost about $1K each. Enjoys listening to each set-up on different room for different music and time. Mostly mid end used stuff but constantly looking for better. So enjoyable but unstopable!

I'm a retired gynecologist, age 75. My Bose Wave Radio/CD
was $499., but I did get free shipping.
