Vintage Asylum Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time. |

Hello fellow audio folks.I'm came upon this board while doing some research for a paper I will be presenting in April at the American Popular Culture Conference. It's based on a paper I wrote in graduate school entitled "Hi Fi Fetishism: Audiophilia in Postwar America."
I noticed a lot of threads here that dealt with gender and hi-fi, and this is one area in which I concentrate my analysis. You folks (men, women, hermaphrodites, etc) represent an excellent sample from which to glean some opinions and views regarding gender-specific attributes of audio enthusiasts (audiophiles, if you wish). Any thoughts on my queries would be appreciated. So let me start with a few and see what you have to say. Just to let you know, I am a big record collector and also have a nice pair of German consoles (Grundig/Braun) on which they sound supurb. Ok, some first questions:
What are the basic psychological and emotional attributes of the male audiophile?
Is there a "control" issue with men and their manipulation of recorded music?
Do men "listen" to music differently than women?
All commentary will be helpful, and thanks in advance!!!
