Any ladies in the audience?

I see an equal number or more females than males at concerts on a regular basis.

Nitpicky hifi dinosaurs nitpicking about soundstage and precise placement of instruments (acting like some half baked version of mastering engineers working in a studio) is probably very unappealing to females.

Sony has been figuring it out, probably did the research....selling compact immersive surround systems like the bravia quad theater (which produces a concert like envelopment) to a lot of females, including my spouse.

If the hifi sales dinosaurs can’t figure out how to tap into the other 50%’s bank accounts and closes shop after the old guys expire, it is quite understandable.  The females, even the ones with audiophile inclinations certainly don’t seem to want your fatass/uglyass wilsons dude...cry a river, if you need to

Yeah Deep_333 I’ve never liked Wilsons no matter what electronics I’ve heard them with. My preference has always been the more plummy “British sound” and Wilsons were always too bright for me.  Larsman I did not make my way up to Baltimore for concerts BITD, I’d go into DC to Cellar Door or the Bayou. But it sounds like you saw some great shows at the Civic Center. Happy New Year to all and may our hearing and listening continue to provide us much enjoyment!

@thecarpathian ”Curious about this a long time”

I have been also curious about this a long time.

l know there is an obvious assumption, and l also know it is not quantifiable……

How many (as a percentage) of female audiophiles are single?

l would hazard a guess there are more single male audiophiles (as a percentage) that are single.

Isn’t life strange🤔

@mihorn Good advice, with a pinch…..

I always take quite a few comments on here with a pinch of salt.

Your comments on pinching your nose l need no salt. I’ve regularly been doing just what you say and pinch and blow before listening sessions….. it does work for me. Added benefit is, it gives an indication if your ears are balanced, and possibly in need of a servicing de-wax.✔️

Sausage fest.

Hi Sarah. Nice to see you around the forum. I actually live very near where you went to college. I hope you continue to contribute here.
