Are you an Audiophile?

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..

Good question, Marty.

Actually, after thinking about the answer, I'd like to amend my statement. If you visit (by that I mean, came here, and return more than once) this site (or AudioAsylum, AudioCircle, AudioKarma, AudioWhatever, etc.) , you most certainly ARE an audiophile.
