You know you're an audiophile if--


You just got a pair of speakers you can barely move yourself (inverse proportionality with age probably too)

The first house you bought cost less than your current stereo investment (ditto)

You have boxes of cables with which you don't know what to do

Sorry Bill_k. By the time I went to respond to this thread I forgot the rest of the pieces. Lol. On a similar note, I constantly see things related to audio in every day life. I'll look at a dinner plate at a certain angle and see a woofer in my mind. Or, one time my niece had one of those bendable plastic straws and the way it was bent looked like a tonearm. Ha!
Dreams, yes, last night I dreamt that my partner "surprised" me by getting rid of our Aerials and Sonus Fabers and replacing with lots of in ceiling speakers. I was livid - maybe that was a nightmare!!!
No audio nightmares/dreams yet. Don't get me started.

I find a discussion about the potential benefits of tibetian bowls on audio sound interesting. I guess that's it, I am no doubt an "audiophile" in addition to a Yogi.
Re-reading positive reviews to assure yourself the gear you acquired is still worthy of inclusion or else ................................
My wife and I were hiking in a nearby nature preserve yesterday. It's spring and that's when all creature's spirits turn to the impulses of mating. Midways through the hike, we crossed paths with one particularly large male alligator who was calling for a mate and staking out his turf. The sound was so deep and intense, we both thought it was heavy machinery at first. Sounded like a ore hauler diesel running at lower than idle speed with no muffler system! Of course, I immediately marveled at how deep and pure the bass was and how even the best subwoofer systems would have difficulty reproducing it accurately.
