You know you're an audiophile if--

You still have a bump on your head from all the times you stood up from looking into the Harveys Electronics store window on West 8th Street, Greenwich Village, NYC. I was 14... My GLORY days of hifi. Hop on a train and hit stereo exchange and drool over all the used gear. than walk over to 8th street - more drooling and if you were lucky and had a half a buck in your pocket, train uptown to rub your nose on more hifi glass storefronts. What a time. Now that I can afford to walk in and shop, alot of those stores are gone...

...your equipment is smoke, animal and children free.

First one leaves most rockers out, last one most Classical lovers, middle one explains dearth of lady 'philes .

If you have a big bunch of RCA Living Stereo CDs but never play them.

You have at least two pre-amps, one with xlr and one with RCA connectors to match your (at least) two amplifiers...
You have so many isolation blocks/platforms that you could live in San Francisco and barely notice any earthquakes...
You don't know what a center channel loudspeaker is...
Not smoking, drinking, or having children in your home is considered a positive lifestyle...
Your LP collection is displayed near your gear but your turntable is in the closet because you don't have room for it on or in the rack....
You buy a new piece of equipment and believe that dismantling the ENTIRE Salamander Designs cabinet is an occasionally enjoyable thing to do...
You have "back up" equipment just in case any of your multi-thousand dollar pieces goes on the blink...
When you tell non-files their CD player could benefit from a modern DAC and they look at you...and look at you
Finally, you're an audiophile because there ARE differences in the stuff you buy and more times than not you can actually HEAR it.
