What's your profession? Age?

26, architectural designer. can't call myself an architect since the ARE (architectural review exams) are still out in front of me. system value is approx. $9k, paid maybe $4.5k?

Electrical Engineer by training, 38 years old. My other degree is in music, I play the trumpet. These days I do industrial product design for my own company, which manufactures lighting.

I'm 22, just finished my BA to find one nasty job market...

It's nice to see there are some other young people around here...I was afraid to admit it for fear I'd be dismissed due to my age!

Well Mr. ragamuffin, glad you were not afraid to post. Many people of all ages here...it's all about the music and the components that reproduce the music in this hobby.

Nice system you've put together by the way!

Dave

Thank you kindly, Dave! I do try to help where I can, but I really find these forums very educational. A few of my friends have now gotten back into tubes and vinyl after hearing my AR and later my Gyrodec...one of them is now in the process of heavily modifying an old Garrard, in fact. It's a great hobby :)

We are admittedly quite a sight wandering into high end shops with out dreadlocks, piercings, and tie dye, though LOL! I've stormed out of one or two places after being treated like...well...a dirty ragamuffin ;D
