how much to $pend to claim i am an audiophile?

If you've ever judged the price of a restaurant meal by how many CD's it costs, you're an audiophile.

If you've ever been able to hear the difference between two sound systems, and cared that there was a difference, you're an audiophile.

If you've ever wanted to spend more money than you make in a week (or month or year) on anything audio-related, you're an audiophile.

If you've ever considered selling blood (or other bodily fluids) to pay for anything audio-related, you're an audiophile.

If you've ever turned off the car radio or boombox because it didn't sound right, you're an audiophile.

If you ever listened anyway even though you could tell it didn't sound right, you're an audiophile.

If you even know what Grado headphones are, you're an audiophile.

If you've ever started or replied to a thread on Audiogon, you're an audiophile.

I believe the cost is the dues to a "AUDIOPHILE SOCIETY".

Then you can assure others that "THEY" have accepted you as an audiophile, and, who could know better than them?

WARNING:

News travels fast, start reading now....you will have a lot of questions to answer as you become "the go to guy" with the answer.

P.S....a crash course on OPINIONS is a good thing.

Hey does anyone remember the old subscription ads in Listener magazine that promised a "real audiophile decoder ring" if you sent in your payment? That used to always crack me up!

To be a true audiophile, you also need to be "hazed", by wearing those headphones out in public for a day, listening to your Ipod.

Then, and only then, will you become a member of our secret society and become privileged to be taught our secret handshake and chant.
