I was surprised that no doctors answered you, so here's one. I did not and do not know engineering, diy work, etc. although I can solder and could/did put together a Hafler amp in the past. I am kind of clumsy at these things. I love music of most kinds.I learned about audio and particularly music from my family (male side). Dad loved classical music, esp. Germanic stuff. I have about 500 plus records plus many more available some day (from late Dad's collection and others). About 400 CD and other digital (only 10 SACD). And lots of cassettes and some VCR.
I believe that women in general love to hear nice sound and music if they cannot see the gear or if it's visually appealing. If it's involving a lot of work, no (I must say that my wife turned the record over, a Lincoln Mayorga Vol III, and started it without incident the other day on my Linn LP 12). Side note, I don't listen much to those old audiophilia records, but kind of like that one and we were showing relatives re old antique valued records.
I have both vintage and modern systems, and to me, it's all in the music. I love both systems. I don't tinker as much as most on here, and my systems are cheap(ish).
Your questions with my answers--What are the basic psychological and emotional attributes of the male audiophile?
I would say they are control freaks and detailed people. They may be introverts and have a tough time expressing their emotions as well. They often like forums like this, where they can type away and express themselves semi anonymously.Is there a "control" issue with men and their manipulation of recorded music?
Yep, and women don't generally bother. Except Elizabeth, Teresa and some others on AA. So generally, yes, but it can go both ways. If a woman is on here, or other boards, they generally are more very controlling!Do men "listen" to music differently than women?
Sure they do. Music is emotion and landscape and feeling to gals, as opposed to more detailed and picky for men. But men also respond to the other aspects. It's actually Men are from Venus,...
