Men tend toward gadget-loving much more than women do. Women tend more toward being music-lovers. The Audiophile world is full of gadget-lovers. Similar to cars. There are women who love cars, but the number of them is FAR smaller than men. When I say cars, I don't mean in general. I mean the meat and potatoes part of cars. Working on them, fixing them, modifying them, painting them etc. Grease monkey mechanic sort of stuff. Except for the LOVELY Miss Vito of course! View AttachmentI have an exhaust leak I need a hand with. Perhaps Miss Vito would not mind getting dirty with me under the car 🚘.

Unfortunately I would say it's the other way around. 🤣

One thing that has struck me over the years in my search for "Audio Nerdvana": Why is it that it seems that (nearly) only Men get-into spending ludicrous amounts of money on their sound systems? I know that LOTS of women have extensive music collections and/or are "into" MUSIC (listening / musicians / singers). However, but it seems that they typically do not expend anywhere near the effort on the system on which to play said music collection that men often do. More often than not - they seem to fall into the "it's good ENOUGH for me" camp with Consumer-Grade equipment or hand-me-downs from Dads / Uncles / Exes... (I'll bet that more than a few have inherited some seriously "choice" pieces of Audio kit and have NO IDEA of what they have.) One of my wife's friends / co-workers surprised me the other day - we were discussing some musical reminiscences, and she revealed that when she did her residency in Alaska, she actually owned a pair of Klipshhorns "back in the day" (and regrets not keeping them). I said that I thought it was "cool / rare" for a woman to even know what those ARE, let alone having formerly OWNED a pair of those beauties... Please note that this observation IS NOT intended to belittle women in any way or diminish any related accomplishments - the intent here is to spark some meaningful conversation about a fairly casual (but I believe, LARGELY factual) observation. I am a great admirer of women in general and married to one who certainly makes me greater than I would be on my own. She seems to find the lengths to which I will go in search of better sound to be mostly funny / amusing, but harmless as long as I keep the spending reasonably in-check (but I also think that she "secretly" enjoys having a good Sound System in the house quite a bit - but she will NEVER "admit" it...) It's simply because women generally don't have small penises to compensate for with 200 pound amps and 8 foot tall speakers...

I married a Unicorn! Mrs wanted the Rega RP 6 TT and she straight out told me that a loaner McIntosh C220 preamp wasn’t leaving the house. We listen to music together and HT, she wanted more powerful subs because two 15” drivers just wasn’t enough! LOL We also wrote a review on the performance of the Sennheiser HD 800 headphones, published on Head-Fi. Yep, one in a million, surly I’m blessed! She has her own Emotiva 7.2 HT system and knows how to operate most of the settings. Stuff like THAT is what makes us really appreciate the ones who "break the mold"... (One word = KEEPER!) Maybe a lot of it has to do with that: - WOMEN seem to (generally) be more comfortable with Sensing / Social things that are "less linear" (stuff that doesn't follow set rules) like social interaction / non-verbal communication / fashion / art stuff where there are no rules or the rules are more fluid / things that can be appreciated but not "fixed" (the sort of things that usually frustrate the heck out of most guys...)
- MEN seem to (generally) be more comfortable dealing with THINGS that have "linear" response - Things generally "follow the rules" and if you know the rules, you can "fix" them
These explains why women generally like men. Interesting 🤔😂

Let me completely state my impression:
Women = they talk, don't listen Most Men = don't talk, don't listen Men with big ... amps = talk on forums, listen
