What's your profession? Age?

Ok, I'm a geek. Was wondering if the data in this thread might be useful, so I charted the ages.

Interesting. Only 3 out of 304 responses were age 60+. Now is that representative of the true audiophile population, or does it reflect computer and Internet savvy? Maybe loss of hearing? I really don't know, and am curious to hear your theories and interpretation of the data.

I found it comforting to see so many in the younger 20 to 35 group. Seems high-end isn't going anywhere. The 35 to 55 group is huge.

Have you taken the age of the answers into consideration? For example, this thread is over 6 years old now. When I first replied, I stated that I was 40, I'm 46 now. That would put me into a different category in your 'chart' now. Granted this would take more work, but since you claim to be a geek, you've probably already taken this into consideration. :)

I agree with John, Hagtech. Please add another 6 years to everyone and give us another chart reading. Perhaps in the meantime, other contributors will add to this thread.

I am a watch importer by day and at night, I morph into a phono cart. maker. Just let's say I'm over 60...but not yet 70.

Actually, it doesn't work that way. If the population density stays constant, then the graph is correct as is. The date you made your post does not matter. Density is density.

I realize this is not obvious to anyone without a mathematics background. But easy to illustrate. Instead of 6 years, what if the survey had been going on for 60 years? Got it?

Not really, I don't expect that I'll be viewing this thread in another 54 years. :)
