What do/did you do for a living?

I'm a trial lawyer with several famous rock bands as clients over the years.  My dedicated music room is small -- 11x11x11, but it is my go to place at night to have a medicinal hit and chill after a generally long and stressful day!  Sometimes its weird to listen to some of my favorite albums from the 70's, having now represented the bands when I became an adult (sort of, I suppose.  I never really grew up, LOL).  My system hasn't reached the idea that I have in my head about what it should sound like, but its up there!  I think that that idea was formed when I was about 16 in '74 and listed to a Mark Levinson pre and power amp, some killer turntable and speakers that I recall looking like Quads at Natural Sound in Framingham, MA and my recollection is that it sounded just like the band was right in front of me.  I'll never get rid of that image!

Professional boat-washer....aka private Superyacht Captain, typically on yachts 131’ to 205’. Currently running a new 154’ for a three year lap of the planet.
My time at home is very limited, averages around 45 days a year. Investment in my systems isn’t as critical as having it ready to roll when I am home. My tinkering is minimal these days after a home renovation, and blasting remastered Grateful Dead in high definition audio is the goal for maximum enjoyment when I do finally get home.Active ATCs in the office and McIntosh 601s / B&W 802D2 (dual REL G1 MKII subs) on the main system keep me quite content currently.
