Audiophile demographics?
Why are there a disproportional number of male audiophiles?
Not sure if this is a silly question, but speaking for myself, I have never met a female audiophile.
I am sure they exist, but their scarcity begs the question as to why.
Is it merely that men have more of the "mine is bigger than yours" mentality, do men love gadgets and tools or is it something more sinister?

This is not what his experiments showed or at least a distorted interpretation. More accurate would be there is brain activity before we are able to communicate an intention. If that is a "discovery", I hate to see the rest of the work. « Your brain know milliseconds in advance what your conscious I will do next»- Benjamin Libet neurologist after his well known experiment... https://wmpeople.wm.edu/asset/index/cvance/libet |
More accurate would be there is brain activity before we are able to communicate an intention.Your formulation is more accurately formulated indeed.... :) Libet himself would say it your way.... Sometimes it is difficult to resume a controversy in 6 words.... But most people after his experiment interpret it like a proof of the non existence of free will....Not Libet himself for sure....I wrote the distorted intrerpretation to illustrate my riddle about consciousness and the general opinion about Libet at the time.... :) But my riddle takes the sea anyway..... « Dont you know that you are a robot? For sure but i am also the programmer... »-Groucho Marx |
@gg987@gg987 I think women have traditionally not been audiophiles because they had no one to show them the way and excite them about it.Interesting! I know three women audiophiles, one of whom is my mother in law. She developed an interest -- similarly to what you wrote -- years ago when I was auditioning various pairs of speakers; I was then looking for an additional pair of speakers and we began auditioning together; to make a long story short, I explained as much as I could about electronics, compatibility and circuits, and sound reproduction. We embarked on a speakers evaluation marathon, full time, even down to positioning speakers, amplification characteristics, and speakers evaluation sheets! OTOH, her daughter (i.e. my wife) loves music but isn’t even interested in firing up the system, let alone audiophilia of any sort... |
@audio2design, 'More accurate would be there is brain activity before we are able to communicate an intention.' Ah yes, the greatest mystery bequeathed by Doctor Freud. The workings of the unconscious mind. Who will unravel it first? The race is indeed on. The marketeers with their endless thirst for profits via ever increasing consumer control versus the research scientists with their FMRI machines, often funded by err hang on, the marketeers?? Consumers of the world unite, stop the steal. |
