I recently purchased a pair of speakers that I showed to a non-audiophile female friend of mine. She said they looked beautiful and asked how much they cost. When I told her, her jaw dropped. She then asked if I was using them to pick up hot chicks. Hmm...I told her the only people who get turned on by my audiophile speakers are balding middle-aged men. She had a laugh, but I wondered if anyone tried to impress a girl with his stereo system. High end is a male dominated hobby like sports cars. So have you found a woman who was turned on by your system. I have had no such look. I just get blank stares when I talk about my hobby to women.
Finding mysterious "woman from the Ukraine who appreciates sound quality and loves music" is a chance one in a million. More practical solution for all you young audiophiles might be to marry a man (not that there is anything wrong with that).
Lrsky, They sound the same and have the same amount of letters making choice very difficult - otherwise always choose a shorter one. For instance write:
nun instead of noun or none nose instead of knows by instead of buy or bye be instead of bee site instead of sight or cite our instead of hour etc.
"Maid in USA" is improper since "maid" and "made" have the same amount of letters.
It is simple to remember and saves a lot of paper.
Yes, attraction to women is a drawback and even can be financial disaster for many, home (lost) being the most expensive part of the audio system. Meeting women at the concert is good for common interest in particular music genre and might get closer to appreciation of good sound.
Czarivey, If it is not what I think you had in mind, then real audiophile doesn't have much else to show spending all the money on this money sucking hobby.
