What is an Audiophile? Here's the list for newbies.

An audiophile would skip family dinner to stay with his audio system (if he had a choice)

An audiophile would stare in a space between the front speakers for hours

An audiophile will constantly find way to improve his system. (Once he found it, he became a music lover)

An audiophile would prefer a stereo 2-ch as his main system

An audiophile would not use a passive or active equalizer

An audiophile would drive a shitty car that’s worth less than his speaker cables

An audiophile may had tried an interconnect cable’s that cost more than his cdp

An audiophile would avoid using an additional active powered subwoofer

An audiophile will not engage to his co-worker's newly purchased home theater set up

An audiophile will not own 1 complete brand new system purchased from the store in his life time

You don’t buy the membership.

You belong by your knowledge, listening skills and aspirations. Oh yeah.....and inability to grasp the idea that something could sound "different" and not "better" or "worse".
Oh my god! I just continued to laugh aloud alone (my laugh was an average of around between 80 - 90 dB, because I measured it) after reading through those posts! I actually had to use the cue up on my turntable as not to ruin my listening session while reading and laughing. I also cleaned my stylus as long as it was up. 

I ordered a pair of Tekton Pendragons 2 days ago, and spoke to Eric Alexander at great length, which was the highlight of my week so far. 

I cleaned all the contact points of my interconnects and speaker cables the minute after ordering my new speakers. I will probably do it once again when arrive on the 17th of this month via FedEx. I have been counting the hours (not days) until they’ll be here. 176 lbs for the pair. I love it!

Hell, no! I am not an audiophile! 

HAHAHA!!! 
It seems I am NOT an audiophile.
I have been purchasing vinyl for 55 years this year.
My cartridge, phono stage, amp and speakers are worth twice as much as our cars ( I have 2 vehicles). 
My records are probably worth twice that. But that is irrelevant as they are not for sale.
But as to the list/definition, no just love my music, thats all.
