You're not a true audiophile unless...

I can't tell you the number of posts I've seen that start with something like this. Why are some people so anxious to qualify this like it's some sort of title? Being an "audiophile" isn't a concrete or objective thing like the citizenship of the country you were born in or being an MA. It's reflective of your hobby or taste, much like calling yourself a "foodie." Can anyone else chime in with some of the more ridiculous qualifications people have come up with for calling oneself an "audiophile?"

to me ...  the  music from my HiFi, be it ever so humble, makes a my place feel more like a home.   I love the music and the feeling of being at home.

I've also learned to take as good care of my hearing as much as possible.    I put down what ever I'm happen to be carrying and cover my ears with my hands when jets and helicopters buzz over my place.

To me an audiophile is someone who cares about how the music sounds when listening. Is it live or is it Memorex?

@wayoomuch .....Uh, yup... (it's late, and I as well.....)

...some of what I may do could classify me as an ' audio-defiler', but I'm 'up' for it.....;)

Anyone who has actually bought a piece of audio equipment a little out of their comfort zone with the intention of making the music sound better to them.

Anyone who is reading this thread.

Anyone who buys one of many audiophile publications and believes 99% of what is said there and then buys one of the brands mentioned.

Two out of these three are required.
