What's your profession? Age?

I am 52 YRS old. Electrical Engineer. Masters degree in Information Systems. Married, no kids. Work for DoD.
I have two systems plus a home theater system. Primary system is made up of McIntosh components, VPI turntable, Legacy Audio speakers. The secondary system (in bedroom) is made up of all McIntosh components, Totem Acoustics speakers, plus a LCD TV. The home theater system is made up Denon electronics, Totem Acoustics speakers and a Panasonic Plasma TV. Call me crazy, but a buy must have some form of Hobby... I also collect vinyl records (LP), my wife think I am crazy. I clean the records on my Nitty Gritty machine when she is at home, but I listen to the records only when she is not at home. No Distraction!!!!

About 10K mostly used gear just counting the main system only. Man some of you guys blow my mind.

Oh yea my age 59 I guess I had a senior moment in my earlier comments.

47. medical sales. 2 channel $22,000 HT add $10,000 more

I'm a sports marketing professional in the bicycle industry. Somehow I landed in Germany earlier this year for work, and have decided to make this home.

My current system isn't even mine. I was sharing a place with a guy who worked for our German sales office and he moved out but left the system. Get this it's a Pioneer A-77X receiver, 2 MB Quart QL 502 S speakers, and my Hp laptop iTunes through the headphone jack. I laugh at it everyday, but it sounds decent for my needs.

At home in the US (a fully furnished bach pad if anyone is looking to buy a place in Milwaukee) i would guess the retail price on my equipment is about $10k - $15k. TV included. I'm a music enthusiast and watch a lot of movies. Not an audiophile by any means. I raced cars for some years and I think I burned up my ears a little doing that.

I come here because I find it amusing that people would spend upwards of $50k on audio equipment. J/K I actually appreciate the craftsmanship and industrial design of the high end stuff.

Cheers from Germany
