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...

21, College student, and my system is about $1.8k retail, $1.4k purchased new on deals...

It is scary how much you guys spend on systems!!! :)
Well lets see I work for the airlines ground crew 30 years and still have good hearing 49 years old and 3 stereo systems in house 30k in one 13k in one and 4k in the bedroom.
Well Im 43 a Field Technician for the City of Chicago , I have spent some bucks since I came to Audiogon, 8k living room system ,2 k bedroom , lots of cd's too many there everywhere.
I'm 50 and unemployed. I used to have a $120,000 megabuck system and have since downsized to a small system that cost under $10,000 retail (I bought everything used) consisting of smaller floor-standing speakers, an integrated tube amp, a cd player and Purist cables. It's funny because I enjoy this small system more than my megabuck system.
