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

With all the auto analogies @n80 you should be selling used cheap scrapyard 70s cars instead of commenting on audio forums. Your comments are not taken seriously by anyone except the very few.

As long as someone has the audio sound mindset they can be an audiophile. Each person has their own level of audio maturity who are we to say they arent. Its only frigging audio not life threatening issues

@han_n who says they arent? Show me where it says that?

I said indeed that most music lovers are not audiophiles. But then again, to me an audiophile is someone who has extensive knowledge of all related aspects as I mentioned above. But, as there is no clear standard or qualification requirement, no graduation, anybody may call him- or herself an audiophile. ;) To me most music lovers can't really interpret or understand room acoustic analysis, which is a basic requirement to be able to make the needed adjustments. Most music lovers can't really understand why the sound is not what they want. So they will follow the "trial and error" method, buying equipment as their budget allows, hoping that one day they find the solution. (most likely they find frustration).  However, I do realize that for others, probably including yourself, once you like to listen music, you are an audiophile. I'm also fine with that. It still does not relate to any value of the equipment used.
