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.

Most rich people’s children at best become some sort of ‘artist’ or just follow in daddy’s footsteps...if the daddy cared to buy a proper education for Jr.
Generally by the time you get to the grandchildren of the initial wealthy person you are pretty much at useless citizen level.

brettmcee,

You are mixing things up a bit. You are equaling being a child from a wealthy family with being allowed to do anything or actually buying anything. At the same time, there are many out here who were allowed to do anything and were never told "no" by their parents, regardless of financial status, who are now healthy and productive citizens.
"Sorry wealthy people if I hurt your feelings. Buy something, you’ll feel better."
Not knowing what "wealthy" is for you, your advice to many of us is hard to follow. We already have everything we want.
Well brett most of what you have said are just ridiculous generalizations. 

People that are able to make sound critical and practical decisions at a high level often are the same people that you shame with your comments about the wealthy.

Please tell me how we level the playing field. Since you post like someone who isnt wealthy, I am sure that you wont be contributing at a high level. 
Being an audiophile has nothing to do with money. Yes, you need to have money, but more importantly you are a music lover on a quest to compile the best components possible that when combined, achieve the best sound. 

Adding a $1300 power cord to a basic all-in-one turntable, then connecting wirelessly to Best Buy active Bluetooth bookshelf speakers, might not be the most optimized use of your money. That’s probably about $2000 worth of audio gear that would be considered “starter kit” budget.

But an audiophile takes that $2000 budget, and maximizes all components equally to milk every last music note out of that system. Then over time updates their components to steadily achieve different or better sound to their liking. It’s a quest and journey that never ends.
