The best and worst Audiogon poster's

I came in a little late to this thread but something Carl posted earlier is directed at me. “Now, if some guy says "My wife and I have young single women over to the house all the time, who are hard core audiophiles every bit as much as we are", I find that essentially IMPOSSIBLE to believe, and ALSO RESENT IT.” Perhaps your level of resentment made you blind to meaning of my post. My post was a specific counter example prompted by your post were you were questioned whether there were women who would want to listen to recorded music and care about the sound. There are. I’m married to one and we are close friends with the other two. However, we are hard core MUSIC LOVERS. Our interest in audio equipment is because we want the best possible sound to recreate the musical experience. We know that virtually everything will impact the sound. We each have our preferences in the trade-offs involved in high end audio down to what brand of tubes to use. But it is all about the music. Only occasionally do we spend hours listening to equipment but EVERY week we spend hours listening to music.

Carl I apologize for my presumption. You are certainly correct that there are very few audiophiles. There do seem to be more of them out here on the west coast.
