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

...back up components just in case any piece in that expensive collection malfunctions 

...an Audiogon addiction

...a child, pet, and smoke free home - excluding fireplaces. 

...

OCD? 🤔

Unless you lied to your wife about exactly how much that cable cost

Unless you finished work early to get back home to either hide the box or put the component in your system and put the box in the loft because you know if you keep the box you will get more for it when you come to sell it all before the wife gets home.

I agree absolutely with the above comment When advertising second hand gear you describe it from child, smoke and pet free house

Your not a serious audiophile if you don't have a magazine rack of Stereophile and The Absolute Sound mags in your bathroom. Mine are in the cabinet under the sink.

You are an "audiophile" if you have over $100,000 worth of equipment and less than 50 pieces of music to play on the system. And all 50 pieces of music are "audiophile" recordings. 

You are a "music lover" if you have a Fisher 500 receiver, an old turntable, a mid-priced Grado cartridge and 5000 LP's on the shelves.  

You are an "audiophile" if the only female vocals you own are by Patricia Barbara, Dinah Krall and Nora Jones.

You are a "music lover" if among those 5000 LP's on the shelves one can find female vocals by Sarah Vaughn, Nancy Wilson, Chris Connor, Doris Day and Jo Stafford.

You are an "audiophile" if most of your music collection is drenched in artificial digital reverb.

You are a "music lover" if you are familiar with the magic that is contained way down there in the grooves of a great mono record.
