Am I considered to be a materialistic person?

I just love my equipment and records and sometimes can't wait to come home from work and play.....I don't think i could be truly happy without all this stuff! Does this necessarily make me a materialistic person of sorts? Do others feel the same way towards their gear and assorted media collections? My wife thinks i'm obsessed and does not see the point of all this lol.

I think that it is pretty well known that for a small percentage of the population, for some unknown reason, music results in the release of excess dopamine which leads to euphoria.  Fortunately, this can be remedied by spending a year meditating at Walden Pond.

Spoken as someone who hasn't been to Walden Pond lately.

Thoreau's book "Walden" recounted his two years living in a cabin (owned by Emerson) in the woods by Walden Pond Concord Mass.                                  He compressed the experience into one year focusing on the changing seasons.                       Snapsc is right on!
