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.

Sorry members, I didn't expect THAT to go so wrong! But when you play with fire ......
Wait, there are actual drivers here who drive automatic transmission cars? You must be kidding. Even Porsche can be ordered without it. I thought you guys are serious about driving and after ten pages I find out it is just a pose.
PDK is faster than stick and when there's traffic it's better. Bigger reason - once in a  blue moon my wife has to drive my car and there's no way I'm teaching her how to drive a manual in a 911 and then burn out a clutch.

I just sold my third car because I put so little miles on it. The main reason for it was snow (it was an SUV) and so she could take it when I had to use her car and not touch my car. Since the virus, the SUV was never started and the battery died. It just took up space in the driveway.

Sometimes you can't fight technological change, although I can't see myself ever driving an electric car, even a Taycan.
