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

Your not a true audiophile if you put your equipment before the music!!! It's not the specs or how much you spend.It"s  about the connection.When you lose track of the equipment and become part of the performance you have crossed over.

Rickw062 - excellent statement!

Not a serious audiophile if it has the name Bose on it. It must be the best!

You may Not be an audiophile unless you have purchased or considering a purchase of outrageously priced ethernet cables  (you'd never tell your IT guy about) that aren't supposed to make a difference but you can hear them anyway.   

Conversly you may be an audiophile if a woman you meet is either an audio engineer or studied electronics design and you are incredibly turned on by that.
