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...

46 Traffic Inv (traffic cop) Ive been buying stereo gear since 1980. I've probably spent about 20,000.00 including music rough estimate. I'm still not done but i'll will get a hearing test before I spend more then 10 large on better speakers.
52; Chief Engineering Officer U.S. Merchant Marine. I operate & repair the engine rooms of steam and diesel ships: Tankers / Freighters / Cruise / Container. As much as I've tried to take extra extra care of my hearing, I suffered a great deal of HF loss in my left ear due to 4 months of watch standing next to a high pressure steam turbine that had bad gearing during my early twenties. My greatest regret since going to sea - physically speaking. Presently contracted on a slow speed diesel tanker carrying jet fuel on the US West Coast.
