Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?

Do true Porschephiles have Seat Ibiza (first generation) in their collections?

Some fun facts:
”2019 per dealership sales increased from 301 to 322, bulk of that was SUV 180 to 218”

draw your own conclusions....

USA has 191 Porsche dealers..Also China imports 31% of global production

McQueen made the Heuer Monaco watch famous, and few would question how utterly cool that thing is. Over the years I've driven a '58 Speedster, a '74 Carrera, a recent Cayman S, an early 80's 928S, a 914 6 cylinder, and a 944, and they were all amazingly fun which might just be the point. My fave wasn't a Porsche but a '69 Lotus Elan...mind blowing. Regarding the qualification to be an audiophile, it seems to me all you need is the love of actively listening to great music through speakers or good headphones in stereo (or mono if that's called for). That and at least one expensive cable.

"That and at least one expensive cable."

I almost qualified.

"My fave wasn't a Porsche but a '69 Lotus Elan...mind blowing."

Can you rewrite it into Lotus Europa? It would raise the coolness level way past any Porsche aficionado.
