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...

I started when I was 10. I took the speakers out of an old tape recorder & installed them in a wood enclosure. I used an amp that I found in an old Record Player. Yes you guessed it! It was all mono. My first stereo system was when I was in High School. I took the electronics & speakers out two abandoned juke boxes. Sounded Great for that time. I have been doing this hobby for about 45 years. Guess that puts me about 55 as of this May. I have met many nice people & made lots of friends along the way.

Good Thread,
