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.
After I found a buyer and sold the JBL 640's I really missed them, thinking about that demonstration using DSOTM (a recording that most will agree is a fine demo piece). So am I an audioph*le?
"Audio", by definition(ie: sound, especially when recorded, transmitted, or reproduced), can include everything/anything, from the first time a soundwave hit an eardrum. As long as you, "love"(phile=suffix), WHATEVER your might be listening to, or hearing, feel free to call yourself an, "audiophile".
