Clearly, they weren’t addressing the heterosexual women market.

Clearly, they weren’t addressing the heterosexual women market.

A stereotype (forgive the term) for sure but traditionally "Audiophiles" were men and straight. That type of marketing would be unlikely today as it is not politically correct. It appeals to me big time and would have/did as a teenager and young adult! I would have bought those magazines for the cover alone!

Political correctness aside, It would be totally out of place today anyway as the bulk of today's modern equipment is far from sexy!

I had forgotten why I dived into Dynaquad at 17. Oh, now I remember!
