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


Just like those driving a Porsche SUV can join PCA (digital audio fans can join Audiogon) but are certainly not Porschephiles unless they also own a coupe (Panamera owners I guess gets a pass here).

Please respond with a yes or no and we'll tally a vote for the first 100 responses.

I still don't know what the attraction for turntables and vinyl is all about other than the looks of a $20,000 turn table.

Right now I think streaming is what it is all about.  So nice to not have to get up and down to change an album or song.  Plus playing music in hi-res is really nice to listen to.
Being an audiophile is not about what you own.  Its about how you get what you own to sound!
"...the brain information through the Axon is continuous."
If we are really disassembling it to this level, for the sake of disassembling, then saltatory conduction should not be ignored. Could that signal be called "non-continuous"? I do not know what to do with it in this case, but Nodes of Ranvier do exist.
Ocd every tiny, small aspect of your system too the point you’ve  gone slightly insane and your wife is about too kill you. Then do it again after a few years. Sell, sell, after buy, buy, buy. 20k later I can slow my pace. Holy smoke I think I’m done honey, I promise. Crap I feel...crap I can’t stop myself, oh no, I must buy again. One word crazy audiophile...
