why don't they get it?

Please tell me why woman or at least most don't get it when it comes to good audio gear. I was in a Florida thrift not to long ago with girlfriend when I spotted a Kenwood 8300 tuner in absolute mint condition for the asking price of 20bucks, so of course I did the the sane thing I plugged it in when everything seemed kosher I happliy made my purchase. Now all the while she can't believe that I am interested in this old and according to her, an ugly archaic hunk of junk,now all the time I am trying to educate her about good quality equiptment that was built at a time when pride and and sound prodution was an important factor. But of course nothing I could say would change her mind if it doesn't have a blue light around the volume knob and volume control she is not interested. I guess it must be the female mind.

I have a daughter whith a cellar and attic full of old lamps, vases, chairs, and god knows what else, which she picks up at tag sales. No audio equipment. Your urge to collect reminds me of her. Of course, I am not like that. All my things are good stuff.

Of course, back when the Kenwood tuner you bought was made, people said the same thing about equipment that was made in the 50s and 60s - 'built when pride and sound were important factors and not these fancy transistor things, but good reliable tubes'. Plus ça change....

Most of those saying that, BTW, were male, so this is not a female thing.

I was told the bathroom was filthy.

I went in, looked around, and had no clue what she was talking about.

I guess I just didn't "get it".
