Do female audiophiles exist

I am loving this thread! And to Papermill..I am happy for you and enjoyed this Axpona show story of yours. I try to encourage women and thank them for coming to audio shows as often as possible. I encourage them to learn more about this fantastic hobby and also give them some education about how I record my music with the best known engineers in the audio world, Al Schmitt and Bernie Grundman and the women often like the stories behind the music I share and learning how the systems respond to music created by these wonderful engineers. Women have great "ears" and I hope more take an interest in this hobby.

My ex was an audiophile although I don’t think she continued after we separated. She was one that would listen to a song 5-10 times to dial in VTA/azimuth with me and comment on the results with surprising details and accuracy. She expressed interest in learning/doing the adjustments herself and got quite good at it. Also preferred tubes over SS.

The wife of one of my audiophile friends is a raving audiophile right along with us. She is well versed in all things audio and has a huge say in what tweaks and/or new components make the grade or are rejected. She attends all the trade shows with us as did my ex and both thoroughly enjoy(ed) them. 

There are a few, but few others will take up something that will cut into(destroy?) their fashion , shoe and  jewels budget . Not to mention the new furniture .

(2) one of the largest audio dealers in Toronto is a member of the fairer sex.

I’ve sold teo GC cables to about 4 women, probably members of this forum, or at least readers who are audiogon members. The cable reveals much not before heard, but it does it with no false added exaggeration in the disputed frequency ranges--which wire will falsify and distort.. Which is why some guys find it dark, when it is not, no, not at all.

Angie (american sound) has trained many of the people who opened up their own shops, over the years..in the Toronto area. She says she trained her own competition. She’s not wrong.

Regarding women and hearing. the place they use in their hearing range to interpret the cries of children and newborns, is the range the human ear is most sensitive to, and it (the spacial and detail sensitivity) peaks at about 3-4khz.

Women do not like equipment, cables, or speakers that emphasize or distort this region of frequencies and transients.

Men use this range of frequencies to hunt through the jungle and be able to spatially locate things in 3d space, in order to protect or to hunt. Men find this to be exciting and is the detail range of frequencies, which many men look for in audio. I find this sound characteristic to be fatiguing and hard.

Men get excited (in general terms) by it and women (in the same scenario and room) run from the room clasping their ears (in general terms).
