Hello, I was just pondering what would be the median age of audioholic members here? My guess is around the age 40, but I could be wrong. It is also obvious that most members are male, but what % is female? My guess would be less than 5%. I have tried to find this info on this site, but to no avail. Would any of the moderators or administrators care to share some member details with us? Of course, I am referring to in general terms. Lastly, are there any other stats that you (administrators) can share pertaining to the "typical" forum member here? I am just curious is all. As such, not attempting to start any kind of flame war by any means. I just like stats as I am sure others do as well.

Cheers,

Phil

Thanks wire for sharing. It sounds like you have been in this hobby for a good while. Appreciate you posting.

Cheer up, my friend. From 36 on, you can legally date someone half your age.

Well, I suppose that drops to 24 in Kentucky...as long as it's a relative. Just kidding!

Hey Adam, the scary part this may actually be true in parts of Eastern Kentucky. That is not the case in Western Kentucky.

Cheers,

Phil

It's interesing how most of us are in our early forties. I wonder why that is?

I been asking myself the same question. That is why I estimated the median age here at 40. Just wished I knew how close my estimate actually is. You know, just to see how good I am........LOL!!!!

Boy, maybe I'll be in the lower half of the age groups after all, 33 here, and have really only been in the hobby for about 8 years, more so in the last 4.

Early 40's is usually when you have a little extra play money and you are too tired to get out of the house to spend it.

[davidtwotrees]

47. I would bet my bippy that the rank and file here is a middle aged white guy.

I'm 51. I first got into audio at age 17 (had a pretty good set up for its time) but got out of audio in my late 20s. Then 7 years ago I heard my first DVD-Audio and got back into it.

38 here

If the forum software doesn't already allow the admins to collect this data, then I think this would make an excellent idea for a poll. The poll could be set up in the usual 5-year ranges (e.g. 15-20, 20-25, etc.).

Just a thought.

I wonder if others are like me - I got a lot of my gear when I was in my early 20's, about a year after I got my first professional job. I was making money and didn't have any real financial commitments (yet), so I had the disposable income to buy audio gear.

50, Wassup!!!!!!!!!!

Check off another guy in the fabulous fifties...51 to be precise. Been into music as long as I can remember. Used to borrow 8-track decks from anyone I could beg one off of when I was a young lad and would hook it up in the parent's car when we would go on vacation. Used to run a wire from the fuse box under the floor mat and just lay it in the back floorboard. Snagged a couple of cheap speakers that I made cabinets for in shop class (had 2ea 5-1/4 per box) and had them laying in the floor or seat as well. Drove my parents nuts.
Used to ride my bike over to friend's houses when I was around 10-11 with a bunch of 45's on the handle bars flowing in the wind to spin at their house.

It's interesting. I know my hearing is getting worse, but my lust for electronics is increasing with age....It's alot more about the thought of what's under the hood.
