Yes, audiophiles are largely a male only tribe. What this means is not clear.
When you consider all the time, money and energy we put into our hobby, endlessly hunting for something we can't quite define and often without any satisfactory conclusion, comparisons with a certain naval captain chasing some semi mythical white whale arise naturally.

Is this addiction a good or a bad thing? Well, there's probably lots of better and worse things to do in life. Such as stamp collecting or needless burning and looting.
On the upside there is always the thrill of finding new gear to explore and for many of us hope springs eternal.
