Like Tony22 I too was for fifty-one years blessed with an audiophile wife. She not only loved listening to music on the stereo she also enjoyed buying new components. So unusual was her audiophile nature that it was even mentioned during her funeral.
This reminds me of a study done many years ago showing that women had more sensory organs in their skin than men. Then someone pointed out that men had more physical jobs like jack hammering, working in factories, etc, that killed those sensory organs. No different here. Though who knows nowadays with earbuds and headphones.
