Are you an Audiophile?

This website is NOT about music. It is about GEAR and reproduction of music THROUGH GEAR.

I sincerely believe that anyone who visits Audiogon on a regular basis is an audiophile. Make that a die-hard audiophile.

Funny how so many people refuse to accept this reality about them, and hide behind the ''music-lover-first'' mask.

Sonicbeauty, you are so funny. Your post is the very reason I stated that I am not an "audiophile".

"Spending more money on gear than music is not stupid unless it really gets out of control."

Spoken like a true audiophile!;) I don't want to say as harsh a word as stupid BUT....it's definitely wrong!! Regardless of whether it's OOC or not!

I am also quite selective in what music I buy. Usually, it is 10-15 records a year and a few cds. But then I don't care much whether I pay $5 or $75 for a piece, condition is much more important.

10-15 records a year.. 10-15 components a year..
