I fucking love this, getting women airtime within hobbies that are always looked at as male is success. Men will be forever grateful in the future if there are more women that love this and want to go to shows and listen to music as much as we do.
What an interesting interview. Char has great energy and is genuinely a nice person. This is what it’s supposed to be about. Thank you for putting this interview together. It was uplifting and made my day.
I had the opportunity to speak with Char who works for Magnepan , she knows her stuff and has a very good understanding of music and audio. She is truly an audiophile and would be a great recruiter for getting women interested in audio. Hope to see her on future RUclips videos.
Absolutely loved this video let's be honest the average hif enthusiast are usually middle aged men with money so it's a breath of fresh air to hear a woman invested I'm slowly but surly getting my 8 year old daughter into hifi the rest of my family and kids think I'm off my head especially when they ask how much I paid for a cable 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but they all agree about the sound quality 😀 relay nice to meet and hear from you char brilliant Absolutely brilliant 😁
Wow! ..... WOW!!!,.... I never ever thought this type of situation existed. .... To find an audiophile lady,.... or better yet,... an audiophile wife,.... well.... That would be a little slice of heaven. ... no doubt.
As soon as I saw this video, I started following the Instagram site. I think it’s really cool that the ladies are getting into audio equipment. I’m from Adelaide, South Australia and I don’t think I have ever met one woman that is into HiFi, so I think it’s good to see women discovering that music sounds better listening to it on a Bluetooth speaker or a sound bar!
Finally after Sir Fremer did had conversations with women who are in Audio,you do the same. It is very important women getting a platform as well to express what they think about audio as men. Music is for everybody. Strangely , at live concerts. Women are in the majority
If all you ever accomplish is to reduce even slightly the WAF rejection of Maggies! I am so lucky to have approval for my 1.7i. Even though she came with her own old school Sansui and JBLs, she was not prepared for the Maggies when I bought them a few years ago. Until she heard them. But she does not enjoy my "concerts" at those levels. And being an old guy I remember there was an effort to sell to young women way way back in the day. A company called Electrohome sold the large cheap consoles in home. Like cookware or vacs. A friend worked for them delivering, hooking up and repairing them. Most customers were single young women. And Electric LadyLand!
women care more about the experience of people and listening with people at a party or live music. They don't care about the quality or the complicated systems. They just need a bluetooth speaker and background music.
Ive been called the best female sound tech in l.a. by everyone from suicidal tendencies to dj reza --- ***FLEX***--- 😆 lol , I only met 1 other girl in the game
I know where they are. Right in the middle of Few and Far between. My fiancé loves audio and music, she loves my main listening system. She’s Danish and is proud that many audio companies are from Denmark. Unfortunately, she’s flat out told me… if she’s choosing to spend $3K on a pair of speakers or a Louis Vuitton bag, she would 10/10 get the bag. 🤦♂️ PS. I’m from Minneapolis and used to live in White Bear Lake where Magnepan (own 3 pairs) is HQ’d.
Wow Doan, the story gets better ! first a 6x6 for offroad duty, now hes from the Minneapple... Im a Cake Eater... Do you know what town that makes me from ? ( I came from the "poor"side tho... ) Goog thing is that you are Big Daddy and can get the bag AND The speakers for the bedroom.. ;-)
@@OCDHIFiGuy Hey Mikey! Love your channel. Looks like we both were on the poor side. I grew up poor and on the tougher streets of inner city Minneapolis growing up. I happen to own a car dealership hence it’s easier to find odd vehicles. Recently departed from a 2021 Aston Martin. Anyway my background is in technology and AI. You can search my name with “patent” and find some of my patents floating around. Recently sold my car business to open up time to do more interesting things. Not sure what to do 🥹
Great, now I think you need an industry for the subwoofer thing?! To export your concept in other places, I feel this is the small problem, with the crossover parts and all the cabling, but I mean you have full control on your rig so…
I’ve dated many women…I’ve tried to get them involved, and I’ve tried to expose them to high end audio, I even bring them to hifi shows…forget it man…they really don’t care. To most women, hifi systems are just obstacles in a house. Women aren’t wired up like men for hifi, or high tech anything. This is just my experience, and humble opinion 🎼🔊🇨🇦✌️😎
Yeah but there is obiusly some whomen that are intressted in this hobby and i think it's great more power to them! And if there are female musicans that like this that would leed to get even better recordings in the future and i like the sound of female vocals! But that said i have shown my whife our modest 15k rigg at home and try to explain the tech but she issent so intrested but she loves dancing to it :)
@@zerotoxico…women love to listen, and play music, they just don’t care how it’s reproduced with a hifi system…don’t bother, hifi will always be a male thing…
@@breakoutpete210 I'm not so sure. I'll ask my daughters female best friend who is attending an exclusive engineering school with hopes of working for NASA.
@@falconquest2068…friend, look around, everything you see, everything you wear, everything you use, everything you hear was created by men and testosterone, not by females. And if it females are in NASA… it’s because they’ve been put there and helped by men… and you could take that to the bank. ✌️😎
Than to think women often have better ears than men, sometimes I need confirmation, and let my wife listen. she knows very well what to look out for, yet she is not an audiophile....

She’s a proper music lover, this was such an entertaining and enjoyable interview.
Thx !

Her group will be a great success. Thanks for the conversation.
Awesome! Much needed and look forward to your significant contribution to the audio world….Keep the momentum. Way to go Char and Mike.

I think Steve G wants to interview her after my video.....
This is a great glimpse at the dark side of the moon. More power to Char and music loving women and girls to apprehend what good hifi is!

We definitely need more ladies in this sport! Right on Char!

I liked Char. She seems like a sweet person, and I hope Ladies Listen Too really takes off for her. She’s got this… Go Char! 🥳🔊🎶
Great interview Mike. I wish Char great success with efforts. I’m definitely a fan of her pursuit.
Awesome Char! Good for you for pursuing your passion despite the male oriented nature of the industry. I hope to see more women involved.
Hey! its a rare bird indeed. Welcome! so im older but Z reviews really hit on the younger crowd.
Omg!! You found them!!! Yesss!!! 🎵🎵😎

Hey, Steve Guttenberg, the Audiohiliac has also interviewed and encouraged women. As a matter of fact he interviewed a woman at Axpona this year.
It's because no one makes gossip records 😂🤣😂🤣👍

Why the black bar across the bottom? If she is in I will consider the operation.

You know! Women like music too.
