Audiophile demographics?

@sokogear -- when I close my eyes, the music sounds more intense for sure, and the food does as well. Is there something to be gained, experientially, in having a combinatory experience with, say both sight+taste? Or to put it in more organic terms (from a male hetero point of view) it's how she looks-and-smells that combine to make her my lovely one.

I think this is a dividing point for some when it comes to the aesthetics of many things -- namely, that there's either a combinatory effect in the initial experience which includes more than one sense OR there's an overall experience that is overall better with both.

"You are fit to burst at being caught out with your divisive and pathetic attempt at virtue signaling."

Was this an attempt at philosophy, or at poetry?

A hobby like hifi can be a good way to show off technical knowledge. 
Peacock strutting definitely is a guy thing.

Women are smarter and more practical.  At least the good ones are, and if they love you they let you indulge in your hobby!  Just got my new B&W 802D3’s...waiting for new cables and amp 😊

@dave_b - are you trolling for a date? Why do you say something so general demographically? Maybe that's your experience or in your family, or whatever. Then you compound the comment by saying the "better" ones are smarter! As they say say on ESPN, "Come on man"! The women that are book smarter or have more common sense aren't better women. There are lots of other attributes to consider, and it is very subjective.

Women are less inclined to go into STEM - that doesn't make them dumber or men smarter, and some women live to shop for frivolous things (like their equivalences of stereo equipment) and others are very careful with what they spend and in making decisions in general.

@tk21 - you have never seen a woman strut? What planet are you on?
