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

"But if I did make some babies, still might, my wife and I would raise..."

Oh my, if you really do not have children yet, and will have them some day, brace for impact. You may be in for a dose of frustration, surprise, maybe even disappointment, and a few more descriptors of defeat.

"...do the world a favor and contact Dictionary.com or Wikipedia and try to persuade them on something that fits your liking."

Did rules on Wikipedia change? It used to be that you could edit things. Even I did a few.

I am tempted to try to change definition of "audiophile" to "the one who babbles on AudiogoN".

You used to be able to change Wikipedia, but it’s been years since I’ve been able to update part of a page (correct & sited or not) and it wasn’t immediately moderated and deleted within minutes. They seem to require very reputable sources, which is why n80 would probably easily convince them to change it. 😉😏

Would AudiogoN forum be considered a "very reputable source"? There are no better ones on this topic anyway. The only problem would be that this reputable source is in disarray of opinions.

There has been a lot of "it does not have to be expensive" statements here. Can anyone give some examples that she/he thinks most of the people could recognize? Maybe not $1000 vs $1100 difference, but something more obvious. $1000 vs. $5000 or something in that direction.

I have never heard an item that was more expensive than the other one while sounding worse. I have not heard it on the $200-300 level and I have not heard it on much higher (price) level. It may be bias or whatever else, but it has, so far, been the rule. More expensive sounded better to me.

Please give us examples so we know what we are really talking about.
