Audiophile demographics?

It is the other way around...

The 2 hemisphere of the brain play their part in all activities, be it music, maths or poetical tought and critical thougth... But one of the hemisphere can be dominating in each one of us, never mind the field....But we need the 2 at all times....

If not, we will loose what we called "reason"...Reason is not rationalism or exclusively some critical thought process located in the left hemisphere... If you think about the concept of "reason" think about sanity first then some balance must exist between the 2 hemispheres...

The poet William Blake is one of the most profound critic of his time, he was a very astute observer of industrialization and his link with technology and science...And he is a poet...

The mathematician Cantor singlehandly founded modern mathematic with a mystical vision....And he is a mathematician...

We can see the function played by the 2 hemispheres in each one of these 2 geniuses; in each one of them one hemisphere is the " inspiration" for a field where usually it is the antagonist hemisphere that is dominating....

Girls, girls. You're both pretty. 

Why are there a disproportional number of male audiophiles?

Maybe, just maybe, women are too intelligent to buy into, what a person has to buy into, in order to be considered an 'audiophile'.

examples:  hearing wire and fuses.  Claiming LPs are superior to CDs, claiming every amp in creation has it's own distinct sound, directional arrows on interconnects   etc......

Cheers

I think you mean women are less gullible. Intelligence is not a huge factor. Many smart people are gullible.

@rok2id,

’Maybe, just maybe, women are too intelligent to buy into, what a person has to buy into, in order to be considered an ’audiophile’.’


Women usually have a different and more complex relationship with their biology than men do. Hence men tend to indulge in flights of fantasy rather more than women who get regular periodic reminders of reality.

Whether this is a good or a bad thing can depend upon one’s outlook or the use this indulging is being out to.

Can you imagine a woman stressing over cable differences? Or getting into a debate over amplifier topology?

There has been a very clever economically fuelled movement over the past 70 years to get women to behave as if they were men.

Thankfully, for both sexes, it can never fully succeed.
