Ladies analogy lover?

smw30yahoo.com, glad to hear fr a female audio lover finally. I believe you are right. Ladies are more into words than men. I suppose ladies are more emotional than men as such words of the songs are more important. Men are probably too logical and analytical. That's why i am always on the look out for better tweaks, upgrading etc. Happy listening

Like Smw30yahoocom, I am a female who loves audio equipment and music. Music entered my life at a very young age, when I purchased my first 45 (Herman's Hermits) at age 5 (early 1960s). I officially entered the audio equipment end of the hobby in 1977. I must thank fellow audiogoner, Albert Porter, for introducing me to great equipment and wonderful music at that time...he was involved with a local high-end audio salon, Arnold and Morgan.

Of my four primary girlfriends, only one has a true interest in music. She is a first class pianist, and shares the love of music.

For me, the music is first (and what it is all about). But, I also spend a fair amount of time researching and investing in the audio equipment end of the hobby. I prefer analog/vinyl but enjoy digital on occasion. My digital listening time may change when I purchase the latest Ayre Acoustics universal player.

In addition, I am an auto FANATIC, particularly luxury sports cars!!!! Fortunately for my budget, I do not trade every 18 months like I did in the past. My last purchase, a BMW 530i series (last year of the old body style), is paid off and will be driven until the wheels fall off.

My interest in music started at a very young age. My Grandmother told me once that she would take me to church when I was 5 months old and I would sing real loud (I guess I thought I was singing) and dance while she was trying to hold me. She said she would be embarrassed because she couldn't keep me quiet when it should have been quiet. Maybe people are born liking music???

most of my female friends, like my "equipment" very much, i must say, i have been blessed !

My wives, only 2 not 3, have shown an amused tolerance to my HiFi Journey over the years. They have enjoyed the results, but would have been just as happy with a supermarket silver box. Face it chaps, with a few honourable exceptions, the ladies view us as "boys with there toys".
There was a nice article a few years back in HiFi+ by a women journalist, to the effect that a womens magazine survey had found that men with an interest in HiFi were becoming irresistably attractive to women as it showed a sensitive artistic nature, or some other rubbish. Then after a long gap at the end..."sorry guys, I could'nt resist it". We just have to accept it we will always be "anoraks" to the ladies
Translation of anorak to our colonial cousins. An Anorak is an unattractive type of rainware, usually worn with wooly hats by English trainspotters and other "hobbiists". They serve as a source of general amusement and benign contempt to other occupants of the British Isles, with sensible, useful hobbies like ours. Now if only we could convince the fairer sex that we were right.
A happy Christmass from over the pond.
