My wife is an artist and has a better hearing than me. We have three systems set up at home, the theater system which we use for audio/video sources, a stereo system in her garden room with her beloved Sooloos music server, and modest system in my home office. WAF is clearly dated (it goes back decades) and most high-end equipment is designed with form as well as function in mind so WAF is largely irrelevant in the 21st century.
Is Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF) sexist?
Believe our addictive hobby is primarily male dominated. The technical aspects seem to appeal more to men. Or is that in and of itself sexist. There are now a few knowledgeable and astute women reviewers. I am always intrigued by the comments off the few women who identify themselves by name on the Forum. One in particular is quite long winded. I'm sure this has nothing to do with her sex. Although he/she has a name which could be male or female. I always love it when my wife comes to look at the record sleeve of the vinyl playing and rely on her opinion of the fidelity. Not to mention desire and count on her approval of new purchases. But is she also addicted? I don't think so. Does that have anything to do with being a woman. I don't think so. Does she care about the fine nuances? She says not. I would love to hear from women and anyone on this. WAF? I care a lot what things look like. HAF?
