Average age of audiophiles

Hi everyone,
I'm curious about the average age of audiophiles. One of the owner of an audio store told me that he has a lot of customers in their mid 20s that buy really high end gear. Personnally, I would think the average age is above 40. I really can't confirm since I'm the I don't know anyody else crazy enough (or passionnate) to get a sound system as expensive as a car...

Also, how old were you when you started this hobby.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm 26 years old. I got interested in this hobby when I was around 17...

Thanks everyone...

Hmmm,
Allways loved the gear. Got into middle of the road gear around 12. First true high end sound when I was 18. stereo budget has exceeded car budget since. I'm now 35 and boat budget has begun to exceed audio.
(But I still drive that 91 Camry.....whats wrong??)

Actually, what are the definitions we are talking about here?

What is an audiophile?
