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

@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.

Bose is phenomenal. It actually made people buy things because they sounded better. First Bose Wave Radio presentations were all about quality of sound, including some sort of blind test/evaluation.

So, if you have a Bose radio in the kitchen, let the chef enjoy being an audiophile. Unless cooking is your hobby, too.
