I can't figure out if I'm supposed to read this as:
1) vagina bled - like some weird variant on dragon-born (blooded?) or somesuch
2) vagin abled - so the opposite of disvaginated?


That's a rather invaginated parsing of the term.

The few females I've known and talked to in the hobby have all had one thing in common: they receive PMs from creepy guys trying to hit on them.  The average audiophile is probably considered a little weird by social standards, but these guys were a skip away from the institution based on some of the short exchanges I've glimpsed. 


Jeez... is that true in the US as well ? thought it was a bad habit in Mediterranean Cultures.

@anetode : yea audio is like cars or guns... Kind of pissing constest for boys. Big and shiny expensive stuff probably helps men to feel better.

That's something a provaginator would say.

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

I've met many women with listening setups worthy of being considered audiophile, however none of them used "audiophile" as a defining term for what they are.

Thanks but I wouldn't exactly call myself a pro yet, maybe a talented journeyman.

Oh jebus Tumblr... some of the worst dredges of social media... I'm sure that there are good healthy supportive communities out there, but there's so much badness out there, and they're the loudest ones. I hate the words trigger or privilege, like they're used as an excuse for their behaviour or questionable morality or lack thereof. I've gotten into arguments with anti-vaxxers in person. All the "acceptance" movements for very unhealthy/destructive behaviour. Then there's doxxing: Cyberbullying fueled by tumblr-rage that results in ruining people's lives.

So. Much. Ugh.

Guys don't even like to use the term audiophile. I believe "music appreciator" is what's in vogue.  Can't blame them since most audiophiles look like old dudes with grey hair, big bellies, and Hawaii shirts. Some of the more advanced audiophiles are so old that they can barely walk. At least this was my experience at T.H.E. SHOW.

Yes. Most look like some variation of Nelson Pass, no offense to Nelson lol. I often wonder how much hearing they have left. 13kHz? 12?
