    I am not familiar with either hams nor electronic musicians, but being peripherally involved in photography and reading about other hobbies has led me to the unscientific conclusion that this is a Guy Thing.

    (It's possible the same tendency is present in hobbies that are traditionally female-coded, in which case it's human)
