Does Age Matter?

Its all men because women are smarter than men. They get us to do all the work of researching, buying, and setting up. Then they just come by and listen whenever they feel like. She's smarter than the man in every way.

My wife doesn't care at all about my hi-fi.  She shows zero attention to any new component.  She likes music a lot but is totally satisfied with her OEM car audio system and a small Sony sound bar when in the bathroom.  98% of the time that I am listening to my system she goes to another room to read a book.  So at least for me, I'll have to disagree with MC comment, above.  I wish that my wife would sit down and listen with me.  Oh well, I'll just keep enjoying my rig and spin vinyl to my hearts content.

Does age matter? Mostly not, as it is all about personal preference. But, age probably matters if you are old enough (say 60+) to have been thru at least 5 format changes (vinyl -  reel to reel - 8 track - cassette - CD's - MP3's & now streaming). How many times do you have to buy the album before you decide to draw a line in the sand? 

As many as it takes. Hi Res digital may be the last stop, at least for me.
Women? They don't like loud music and you can't teach em how to downshift.
