An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree?

Agreed. It's your love of audio that brings you to this hobby, not your wallet. 👍

The unfortunate downside is that you will get better sound with more monetary input but you can still stay within sane limits.

All you have to do is ask any audiophile who's been in this hobby long enough and he/she will tell you something like: "If I only knew what I know now, I could have saved a lot of money." 😄

All the best,

Well of course. Goes without saying.

Knowledge is all that matters. Money can’t buy Audio Nirvana. A rich man 💰has about as much chance of finding real Audio Nirvana 😇 as a camel 🐫 has of passing through the eye 👁 of a needle.

I'd walk a mile for a camel, not sure about you Geoff, though you've gotten many miles out of that saying here, just sayin!' (I always enjoy it) 😊👍

Without money you are nothing in modern America, well, except you can be serious audiophile. For now.
