| Casters on equipment rack? That is just it. When I was much younger and had a large room with plenty of space, then the subject probably wouldn't come up. However, as an older guy with a bad back, living in a smallish condo, convenience is very attractive. | |
| How eclectic is your taste in music? @three_easy_payments Couldn't agree more. Variety is the best thing about it.Tool, LP, Ronstadt, Coltrane, Puccini. As long as it is recorded well, it's all good. | |
| Experiences Selling Stuff On Audiogon? It has been a few years since I used Audiogon to buy or sell anything, but being a budget conscience retired person, I try to avoid paying any extra fees. Nowadays I strictly use AudioMart or even Craigslist. I have never had any issues with Canuc... | |
| Audiophile demographics? @cd318I asked an innocent question and for some reason people like you want to make it into a hill you will die on. Are there more male audiophiles than female audiophiles? Yes.Do people stereotype? Yes.Next time I will try to ask a question that ... | |
| Audiophile demographics? @sokogear There was a local restaurant that served their meals in total darkness. They claimed that the lack of external sensory input actually enhanced the taste of food. While it sounds strange on the surface, is it any different than listening ... | |
| Audiophile demographics? You can blame me for asking the question again, but if the responses are any indication, the demographics haven't changed and female stereotyping is still an issue. Sad, but not surprising as the world gets more polarized every day. | |
| Audiophile demographics? @rcronk"And I am very friendly with many women. But you can watch them glaze over when you put some Captain Beefheart on the turntable."If you are playing Captain Beefheart for a woman, then I understand why you are merely "friendly". Perhaps you... | |
| Audiophile demographics? @danvignau "Also, guys need an excuse to invite anyone over. Girls have things built in for this."What exactly are these built in "things" that women have? | |
| Audiophile demographics? @gg987You remind me of my ex-wife. And I mean that in only the most positive way. She has always appreciated good sound and good music and although she didn't care about the minutiae of my audiophilia, she wasn't in the least intimidated by the ge... | |
| Audiophile demographics? @danvignau "Who wants to go to a female's house to listen to girley music?"I don't know what women you associate with, but I wouldn't recommend making that comment in mixed company. My wife is the "metalhead" in the family and was the one that tur... | |
| Audiophile demographics? @gg987Yeah, kinda. The cabinet is the giveaway. Before the divorce we had one as well. Now everything is what I would call "freeform". | |
| What kind of music do you like to hear the most? @millercarbonThere are no dumb questions, only dumb answers. | |
| Audiophile demographics? @gg987Glad to virtually meet you. I certainly don't want to treat you like some sort of oddity, but it would be fair so say that you are in the minority.If you don't mind, could you answer a couple of questions.How did you become interested in aud... | |
| Audiophile demographics? Except for rock instrumentalists, I would guess that the ratio is pretty even. | |
| Audiophile demographics? @tooblue I know. Isn't it wonderful. |
