You might be an audiophile if...

You finally convince your wife the cost of the new speakers and amp will be offset by the sale of the old equipment on Audiogon...

Once you have her swayed to buying new audio equipment. Then switch the story/logic to... "how can I sell the Spica T-60's and silver faced Classe amp. They are classics. I'll never forgive myself. Besides it's good to have a backup system. Our son (who's only 9!) will be able to use them in the playroom. I can't bear the thought of him listening through some junky system from BestBuy. And we'd (yes he said we!) will end up spending at least what I'd get for them on Audiogon at BestBuy on a subpar system.... "

and you're an audiophile wife if...

that all makes perfect sense!

You're planning on replacing a perfectly good refrigerator, becasue it makes a little too much noise..

your girlfriend suggests that you put your whole house on ball bearings to reduce the negative effect of the earth's vibrations on your audio system.

If your wife spend her money on facial reconstruction surgery to make it identical to a Black Diamond Racing puck so you will look at her .

Your dogs whine an alert even before the UPS driver steps off the truck. True story.
