Average age of audiophiles


Hi everyone,
I'm curious about the average age of audiophiles. One of the owner of an audio store told me that he has a lot of customers in their mid 20s that buy really high end gear. Personnally, I would think the average age is above 40. I really can't confirm since I'm the I don't know anyody else crazy enough (or passionnate) to get a sound system as expensive as a car...

Also, how old were you when you started this hobby.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm 26 years old. I got interested in this hobby when I was around 17...

Thanks everyone...

i've been tryin' to lower my average age every year. so far, it hasn't worked. the beginnings of my audio days were in 1957, when i was precocious 13 year-old high schooler. if you've done the math, you know i am a fellow travelling geezer with sdcampbell and garfish, among others. where is albert? and detlof? yep, in my 45th year of "serious listening," i count myself as a happy and lucky man of 58 years, still upgrading, still having fun and still trying to teach youngsters like tireguy that you needn't worry about the price of your rig in comparison to your car. just keep buyin' more expensive cars. 'course, as tireguy knows, you do hafta keep 'em wheel-sides down. :o) -cfb
