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.

Nice definition Gunbei. Timf, for me, this is a lifestyle. It is a part of many things I do and consumes quite a bit of my time and a very noticeable amount of my money. Any serious hobbyist finds it hard to divorce themselves from their passion. I am an audiophool. There, I've said it. Bwah, hah, hah, hah!
Hey Marco

Tell us how you REALLY feel. Dont keep your feelings bottled up!

HAHAHAHA
Agreed. High-end is who you are not what you have. I agree with Ozfly and Gunbei.
Audiophiledom picked me. I miss the simpler times, but as Don Henley said, "you can't put the genie back in the bottle".
