Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have??????

You're not a serious audiophile unless you have taken out a second mortgage on your house to fund an upgrade for your system.

1. If you don't have tubes
2. If you don't adjust VTA per each record
3. If you use original component feet
4. If you don't have at least 20 releases of Abbey Road and Dark Side Of The Moon
5. If you don't clean record before each "critial" listening
6. If you don't hear difference between wire "directions"
7. If you don't have at least 5 sets of different tubes for your equipment to "roll"
8. If you don't have Diana Krall, Cassandra Wilson, Nora Jones or Patricia Barber
9. If you don't have any of TAS, StereoFile or similar magazines on your end-table top inside the listening room.

Unless you have at least three of everything in regular or semi regular rotation at any given time. I suppose having three systems certainly counts for the same.

And I thought of another as I typed on. Unless you are continuously contemplating room acoustic tweaks that can be easily passed off or easily even disguised when sharing a space. 

A members post in my other topic helped inspire the later. "plants make good  defusors", nice grab. I remember reading that somewhere else and forgot to try it before forgetting about it altogether.      

"Posts older than 30 minutes cannot be edited" Oh wise guy, I see how its like. I finally catch one in time then get denied.  

You're not a audiophile if have not sneaked new equipment into your house past your wife, if your wife does not understand the acronym WAF or if your wife's eyes do not glaze over when you try to talk about $120 fuses with her.
