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

As usual you are ALL WRONG!     Just kidding.

A person who enjoys music is a “music aficionado”

A person who enjoys listening to music AND does something to make it sound better to their ears, is an “audiophile” no matter the format or system.

A person calling another person a “porschephile” should be a hate crime.

A person bragging about being a good autocrosser and considers themselves a auto racer, should also check with their wife before going out to the store.

Notice that the people with the best systems are the least judge mental(sp).

Peace out

 Some of us have the means to upgrade and some upgrade when they can afford it. I’ve been in both camps...as the means provided I upgraded. I now have 2 systems. One is a home theater and the other is an almost as amazing, poor, left over, hard to sell montage of components that I decided not to sell because their resale value on audiogon wasn’t worth selling if I could have my “audiophile” habit upstairs also. I love how someone says I’m not a true “audiophile” because I upgrade every 5 or 6 years for the last 35. I’ve been to many a live event (saw Rush and the amazing Neal peart 48 times) Been to at least 500 plus live shows and I love that sound, but a PA system isn’t practical in a home environment, (goofy wife what does she know). The klipsch fortes I owned in the 80’s as well as my entire system (that took my poor ass years to built) is still in use by my x-wife to this day. Audiophiles come from every walk of life and what connects them is the music and it reproduction. Period. 

It’s

Dear @glupson : you are rigth. I posted that way because is something I pasted but whon says that the chemical developed neurotransmitters changes the discrete electric impulses binary condition to a continuos one other that what you stated?

Many years ago and obviously way before this and other threads about I listened from some one the digital status of the human beens and everything shows to that direction.

"Dear @glupson : you are rigth."

I would like to use your quote from now on.

I forgot what the details were, but someone earlier mentioned action potential, too. I am not sure if it was supposed to be analog, digital, continuous, or something else in that sentence. Still, if anyone is keeping tabs, it is not continuous.
