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.
