You might be an audiophile if...

Letterman's Top Ten for Audiophile and Home Theater Obsessions:

10) You get a complaint about noise...from your local airport.
9) Your electric company builds a substation in your backyard
8) Your H.T uses as much cable and wire as found in 3 average homes
7) Your speakers are bigger than your refrigerator
6) Every time you play a Bach pipe organ piece, seismographs register activity
5) You get rid of your wood stove, because your tube equipment puts out more heat
4) You have more filled equipment racks than your local radio station
3) Your new preamp is the best one you've ever heard, and your system is finally finished. You trade it in next week for a different one.

2) You own at least 10 different vinyl pressings of every Beatles and Stones album
1) You can "hear" the sonic differences resulting from a 3 degree ambient temperature change.

You get home after a long day at work and after turning on the ceedee player, set the tt platter spinning, spending a half hour looking for the perfect disc and or LP (the amp and pre were already on from the night before), checking to ensure your room treatments are all in place, cleaning the LP you may play, settleing down in the sweet spot, listen to the system for an hour, AND THEN WONDER WHY YOUR SPOUSE ISN'T HOME AND CALL HER CELL AFTER THE LP HAS PLAYED BUT THEN REALISING YOU HAVE THE PLACE TO YOURSELF, YOU TURN THE CELL PHONE OFF AND SETTLE IN FOR MORE GOOD SOUNDS!

You can hear the difference between the UPS, FedEx & postal truck as they're coming down your street and if they pass your house (after you've jumped up like a kid for the ice cream truck) you get bummed out, 'cause it's another day before your ________ arrives.

You get aroused listening to your wife expound on the sonic characteristics of various 6SN7 tubes with the local hi-end dealer.

Boa2 - that would definitely get me going....
