Thanks for the kind words Rushton. I was simply having fun in my earlier post. Let me get serious for a moment to articulate some of the reasons women don't get involved much in this hobby:
1. They don't understand that more expensive is always better. Nope that's not right. Let's move on.
2. They don't have the trained ear necessary for the hobby. Well I guess they do. Forget this one.
3. They would feel a need to keep up the Joneses and always have the latest and greatest products. OK maybe this isn't a good example. Next.
4. They don't grasp the intracacies of matching impedances, resistances, and capacitances. OK scratch this one; we don't either.
5. They don't realize if you don't buy the component right now it might not be available next week. Well, it probably will be so let's eliminate this one reluctantly of course.
6. They have this ridiculous notion that you don't have to spend 40% of your discretionary income on audio gear. Can you believe that? They just don't get it.
7. They need to spend a preponderance of the household budget on stuff like food, clothes for the kids, and utilities. Simply absurd. Venus and Mars you know.
8. They have much more common sense than we do. Hmmmmmmmmm
I'll get back to you on this.
