What's your profession? Age?

I think my system is retails about 10K+; everything was swapped out this year.

Automotive Body Designer, I'm 47... and I still have more tied up in my record collection than in my two channel HiFi. The system includes the likes of Linn Sondek, Aesthetix, Atma-Sphere, & Coincident Techn. My very first Lp purchases were brought home (to my mom and dad's) tied to the handle bars of my blue stingray and included Sgt. Pepper (mono). Now I prefer mail order online mostly, although it does take some of the adventure out of it. The gear's great and I'm in it for the music. Cheers!

I am a bartender! "What would you like to drink tonite?" I can talk and educate people about audio and meet women. Its a great job, plus I can go surfing everyday.

31 and wow, I am only the third physicist in this thread. Well, now its four if I add my wife as well. But then there are no other physicist audiophiles out there that I know of. Maybe something in the brain that is wired correctly for science and wrongly for enjoying music...

More likely: wired correctly for science and wrongly for high-end audiophile pseudo-science and BS. :-)
