It seems like men are the only one's that get emotional about music. After all we spend time listening to equipment, reading reviews, and going on websites to discuss It. We look for a system that will let us connect to the music. You rarely see women pursuing this Interest. Do women get emotional about music or Is it just a male thing?
Follow Ups:
If anything perhaps women are more emotionally attached to music. Perhaps men might be more analytical.
Have you even been to a single woman's home or apartment and not seen a collection of their favorite music and a stereo to play it on? Even if it is only a $400 mini-system I guarantee they enjoy music on it, emotionally.
The barriers that kept women out of high-end audio (well my definition not yours) are slowing coming down. But it is the attitude of some males that I believe keeps females away.
Back in the 1970s-1980s and to a lesser degree in the 1990s when I walked into a stereo store, salesmen never approached me. This was great when I was just looking around but harder when I was actually trying to find someone to purchase from. Nowadays audio salesmen approach both men and women.
Many audio magazines still have a male chauvinist attitude even today.

eh?

You need to start attending concerts and/or non-audiophile music settings..... (High-end audio is mostly a male endeavor, but music is not necessarily so.) You’ll then realize that emotion in music is not gender-specific.
My wife suggested to the owner of the audio store, to get a jewelry counter installed.
Beauty is a light switch away. There is a comparison there somewhere? I've read F&S for years and still have not landed a trophy walleye.
Too many Sudz, I guess.
Kara Chaffee has been making world class tube components for decades. Her deHavilland amps powered my favorite systems at both last year's and this year's CAS. There are many other great women involved in music reproduction, and, of course, as many women as men love music.
"It seems like men are the only one's that get emotional about music."
Given the remainder of your post, I think you meant music reproduction systems. It doesn't say anything about music at all.
I also don't know any chicks who brag about their deep level of appreciation of insipid female vocals the way audiophiles do.
It ain't that women don't get it - they are better at it than we are and effortlessly incoroporate it into their lives without having to turn it into a velvet jacketed aural masturbation ritual.
All the cocktail lounge jazz chanteuse suck.
I like to hear women sing, as long as it is about what they feel, not about pleasing some guys ego.
So hooray for Suzanne Vega, Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin, Nina Simone, P.J.Harvey, Linda Perry, And plenty of other great female singers..
I can skip Diana Krall .. really.
Hot Damn!
Waitaminute... that video didn't end up on YouTube did it?
I guess not... you would have mentioned the strawberries...

At our stereo meetings, only the fine upstanding fellows like myself and these friends, as shown in this photo, understand and appreciate the finer things in life, like stereos and whiskey.
I think Harry Truman will address this phenomena in tonights state of the union address.
Women should be left to tend to the children and cook meals. Thats their place in life and what they enjoy most.
Ill see you at the bowling alley later right Dudz?
The guy is not holding the record by the edge and center - he's got his greasy finger right on the grooves.
This is an outrage.
I hope I'm not mistaken, but when I saw that post, I recognized it as sarcasm - plain as day. Of course, it's becoming more and more difficult to exercise wit when every punch line has to be spelled out for those with a damaged sense of humor (or at least a damaged irony detector).

I would have to disagree with that statement. You must be part of the good ole boys club. I am surprised that you're moniker Isn't the confederate flag.
One of my favorite albums!
You ever figure out stage 2?
...I've tried not to respond to any of these posts, but it is clear here that you are confusing "music" and "audio systems"....they are not the same thing. Thus, your logic is faulty about the connection between emotions, gender, and music.
and over burdened thought process.
Your need to share such really poor ideas on a public board end up
reading in an awkward, painful, ridiculous yet somehow entertaining manner.
Your attempts to communicate are almost admirable; your posts sadly pathetic.
Kudos this time though on the actual use of a question mark.

In a recent interview, the current CEO of Google mentioned how now every shut-in has broadband access. So we are seeing this shift in the public voice. The implication was not positive.
Your insecurities with intelligent women are such that you refuse to recognize them? You'll have "women in audio" laughing at us.
At least you've finally defined for us your "elite status" perfect fit. Now there's no question. You are indeed at the top of your game.Let's just be clear about one thing here. You're not "talking" about music.

Every day, I live and breathe the emotional and spiritual aspects of music in ways you obviously can't even imagine. No audio system required, in fact. Imagine that. At this rate, you'll never be able to "connect to music" no matter how "high end" you take your audio gear fetish. You've already lost the plot - long ago.

And Amen! I suspect, WK, that when you play your cello you are "connecting" to the music on a far deeper and more meaningful level than any passive listener ever can, no matter how "high end" or "elite" their playback system.

Heh.

Is that genuine dialog from the series? I don't recognize it.

I'm pretty sure. Then again it could have been Damnit Jim, I'm a doctor not a musician. Or, Damnit Jim, I'm a doctor not an escalator.
It was the episode with the alien that was made out of "silica" or some stone type material - they dug tunnels in the mining areas and the little "rocks" were their eggs...ohh ohh im showing too much of my Star Trek geekness...man i loved that show growing up...
