Okay. I get the sense that my question does attempt to pigeonhole people. It was not intended, or at least I did not mean to set everything in its place. Life is more complicated than this, and I apologize if I offended. For myself, the designation of Audiophile is only useful in the sense that it helps me to identify other people who have an interest in audio. It is good for that, and then it is too simple to truly identify anything meaningful. Its a hook, really, like icelandic chick. My question really meant to ascertain just how seriously people here relate to the label. Is it a lifestyle or a part of a lifestyle. Icelandic chick definately sounds like a lifestyle to me, but I still wonder what Audiophile means.
Where does the designation of "Audiophile" fit...
In the overall way you see Yourself? This has probably been asked before, so forgive me please if it is redundent. I actually started thinking about this after reading another thread here about the "typical Audiophile". It got me curious. Are You an Audiophile first and foremost, or does this distinction fall in place behind other badges you might wear. Parent? Professional? Volunteer? Maybe you would not even describe yourself as an Audiophile? Whatever the case may be, I am often suprised by what I read in these threads. I see people here as being extremely generous and friendly-sometimes unbelievably compassionate & funny, always very intelligent, beyond merely being well informed. I see myself as being fortunate to have such a resource.
