I do not mention it until the lady see the system and ask questions. I avoid the how much did it cost question like the plague. I defelect the quetion just like the washington prostitians. My girlfriend at first thought it was crazy but enjoys listening to her favorite music on my system but only if it is a good recording. She is 11 years younger than me and has better ears. Listening to music on my system is one of our favorite things to do together and usaully ends in much better activities later on in the evening. What was cool was the other night we went to her friend's house for dinner and her friend's husband was showing us their new $5000.00 Bose lifestyle system. I was very polite and it sounds nice and said nothing else but my girlfriend said it sounds just ok. They had a perplexed look on their face. The came over three days later for dinner and their jaws were on the floor. My girlfriend's friends were shocked how she took to my system. I think women are more practical and are more focused on the music than the equipment. So I just keep the conversation focused on her and the music and what she wants hear. They do appreciate good sound and can identify good and bad sound. Keep it focused on the music and your domestic life will be much better and you will spend less money on stupid things that do not work.
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
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.
