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...

Heavy duty recovery specialist...translation I operate a very large tow truck to handle 18 wheelers and the sort. 40 years old. On my 4th setup that worth probably about 5K.

I am 22 years old - started with audiophiling at the age of 15! I never owned a 'boombox' or such crap...

I am a Graphic Designer and do some freelance video editing. But I want to start manufacturing high-end turn-tables and tone-arms...

My system is ever-evolving and as far as I am concidered "price-less".

I love 2nd hand equipment - they make nice modification pieces...
