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

sokogear,

Typos happen. It was from the beginning of the sentence. It was just a reminder not to be mean to people. In particular, when they are much more proficient in your language than you are in theirs. Your English grammar is lacking, too, and nobody is picking on it.

YES to the question.LP's: it's great to have the tactile connection to the media... and awesome to know where a song is on a record.CD's: There's definitely a disconnection on these shiny little discs. Due to frequent moving and space, many years ago... I let go of my LP's.
I took my YBA CD II over to a friends. We compare the YBA and his TT on his ($50k -$70k) system. NO CLEAR WINNER. they were both absolutely amazing... just different.

>>>>I totally agree. The human bean brain works through impulses. Many audiophiles hear via impulses through the ears but separated In between by the vast emptiness of space.

"Vinyl pressings are not a precise replication of the audio wave recorded in the master"

Think about the physics of a needle bouncing around on a relatively heavy plate of plastic, compared to cd,  with an abundance of wow and flutter, pop and scratches,  wearing down every time it is played. 

It is ok to PREFER vinyl but it is it not even close to cd in terms of accuracy  and reproducibility.

Cheers
