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.
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.

Damn straight, Sonic. People - The first step to freedom is admitting you are what you are. You love music, so what. I love freakin' astronomy but it doesn't change the fact that I am, and all of you, are audiophiles. Learn it! Live it! Love it!
