Male audiophile seeking Female audiophil

Now this has got to be one of the most interesting threads I have read. I would welcome all audiophiles, male or female in NC, that would like to chat or get together to tallk about Audio. Maybe we can start a web page or something. I have had two wives & lots of audio equipment, Audio is much more cost effective, & much easier to upgrade! LOL Good Luck Guys!

Wilford - I was blown away the other night by my wife, who has questioned me on "what's that silver thing (DAC) gonna do" and "I can't believe speaker cables cost that much" and "where did the rent money go(?)". She was doing some mending, sitting in my sweet spot chair, while I had a jazz CD playing. Suddenly, she turned to me and said, "wow, your stereo really does sound great" and returned to her sewing. I was knocked over, suddenly my passion was understood, and I even put on Gloria Esteban for her to enjoy. Maybe an audiophile by most standards she ain't, but in my eyes she is. Kinda hope she gets the hots for a pair of Wilson Puppys...

well, 6 months of searching for a gnu preamp are over - after 4 different preamps, much interaction w/the ups guy (not yet over - in fact - gotta ship out the cary next week!), my recently-purchased melos preamp, back from las-vegas for a tune-up, was finally put back in the system this week. and, yesterday's several hours of work installing the origin-live power-supply upgrade for my oracle 'table was finally complete, & this a.m., my wife went in, cued up talking heads & preceeded blast us outta the house! she sure can bitch when i'm doin' this stuff, parts everywhere, never knowin' what preamp will be in the system one day to the next, etc. but, when i'm (temporarily!) done, boy does she ever *like* it! she hate all the matching/updating stuff that goes on w/this hobby, but the proof's in the tasting, and boy, she's happy when it tastes good! ;~) doug

Again: If a man speaks in the forest and no woman hears him, is he still wrong?

Wilford Instead of trying to get your lady friend interested in the gear (which is a very hard sell) why don't you take her to a live concert and maybe she won't look at you as such a geek. A romatic dinner and a great concert, preferably to her tastes, may bring her around. Always remember if you want to get a woman interested in what you like, it is a good idea to find out what she likes. Leave the stereo business for when you get her back to the house and she is more in the mood and receptive. Guaranteed it will work 4 out of 5 times. If that doesn't work, better move on.
