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

Cambridge English Dictionary online

Audiophile
[Noun] a person who is very interested in and enthusiastic about equipment for playing recorded sound, and its quality.

It's already defined, no hard work to understand it's meaning. No level of experience, degree of interest or value of investment is used in this definition. Just enjoy the music :-)

@jsautter -    YEP!   All that, "casting" is just a waste of keystrokes. Yet; it can be entertaining.

"Audiophile
[Noun] a person who is very interested in and enthusiastic about equipment for playing recorded sound, and its quality."

Yet another dictionary/Wikipedia definition that utterly lacks application.

But if this definition is correct then Vinny the Egalitarian is right. Everyone IS an audiophile. Especially all those 65 year old women with Bose radios on their kitchen counters and 12 year olds with a pair of Beats bluetooth headphones streaming from their Galaxy phone.

Yep, everyone is an audiophile and it costs next to nothing to be one. What a wonderful world..........you know, its all a state of mind, it has nothing to do with _actual_ sound quality, taste, training or expertise.
