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...

I have been a player and coach for 20+ years, then I went into high school teaching..I have a Masters in Biomechanics as well..

System is about 1500.00 for 2x Berning EA-230's
750.00 for Berning TF-10 preamp
1900.00 Tannoy Monitor Gold's (12's)
600.00 for Parasound CDP-2000
1800 for VPI Scout with Dyna 20X-H

Miscellaneous vintage like Fisher 400, Scott 299, Allied integrated and tuner, Allen organ amps, EV12trxb speakers..

So all in all maybe 13K...took about 5 years to get here.
