It seems like the audio-centric part of the equation is not something that is taught so much as it is an interest that develops (or not...) for different reasons, and we at GSC hope that mining Serious Music drives the whole thing. However, come to think of it, this idea of "mining" +/- familiar music may also be something that is more or less "a hi-fi thing", in the first place, let alone the ritualized adoration of a fairly ridiculous "reproduction", which most rational people might take as a form of idol worship, if they gave it any thought at all. When we gather with "like-minded" audio guys we might as well be some cult or secret society.

We think we want a spouse that is "on board" with hi-fi "like we are", not simply as a means to an end (cultivating our appreciation of Music programs), but also - sorry - there pretty much has to be the "appreciation of the Delivery System", as well. While I have no doubt that there are women who really appreciate hi-fi gear, I have never actually met... 1, and this very certainly includes all female musicians I have known.

I have to ask here, how often do appreciation of hi-fi gear and evolved musical awareness co-exist in the same person? And how likely is it that this person would also be attractive and attracted as a wife?

Interested parties might care to look at Hawthorne's, The Birthmark.

Best regards,
