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


One group should not be allowed to monopolize the term above another as their own status symbol. you i and anyone else who likes audio can be considered an audiophile regardless of the size of your bank account.

Without money you are nothing in modern America, well, except you can be serious audiophile. For now.
Is this yet another attempt to define what an "audiophile" even is?

I honestly do not know and care even less.

I like music.......
Audiophile is the word for one who loves audio.
Is there a word for one who worries about who is using which words?
I don't know. But something tells me if WFB was still around he would.
@geoffkait : "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."

Yes, but the the rest of the verse is: "With man this is impossible, but with Audio-Buddha all things are possible."

On a more serious side, no, I don’t think you can be an audiophile without a good deal of disposable income. You might have been one. You might want to be one. You might be one in your own mind but the truth is that it takes money to do this right. Exceptions? Sure. But very few and debatable.
