Like Smw30yahoocom, I am a female who loves audio equipment and music. Music entered my life at a very young age, when I purchased my first 45 (Herman's Hermits) at age 5 (early 1960s). I officially entered the audio equipment end of the hobby in 1977. I must thank fellow audiogoner, Albert Porter, for introducing me to great equipment and wonderful music at that time...he was involved with a local high-end audio salon, Arnold and Morgan.
Of my four primary girlfriends, only one has a true interest in music. She is a first class pianist, and shares the love of music.
For me, the music is first (and what it is all about). But, I also spend a fair amount of time researching and investing in the audio equipment end of the hobby. I prefer analog/vinyl but enjoy digital on occasion. My digital listening time may change when I purchase the latest Ayre Acoustics universal player.
In addition, I am an auto FANATIC, particularly luxury sports cars!!!! Fortunately for my budget, I do not trade every 18 months like I did in the past. My last purchase, a BMW 530i series (last year of the old body style), is paid off and will be driven until the wheels fall off.
