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.

“Fast-forward into the mid-nineteen-forties. The Second World War had just ended. Americans were picking over the technological remains of German industry. One of the things they discovered was magnetic tape; the Nazis had been using tape recording to broadcast propaganda across time zones. It was a remarkable invention. ”

There have been many inventions but considering snatching tape recording as one of the culprits for World War II is a bit of a stretch. It makes for a nice cocktail party trivia, though.
brett,

Well unless you tell me what this work is I cant judge and you will not get any props. Pretty tall order making the world a better place, I find it strange that you would feel the need to share that with us. I usually find those that make the greatest impact tend to not share this with others. Hubris is a pretty nasty thing. 
Rest assured, beyond this chat and this site, I have added some entertainment to your life. I share because I’ve worked hard for what I have and I am proud of it. Working for what you have was my point. And i have worked hard at assembling a reasonable audiophile setup. 

I have little respect for those who are not inclusive, especially in respects to something as ultimately unimportant as a pursuit for quality audio reproduction. Something that seems pretty common on this site and others.  Wealth and elitism is clearly evident in this pursuit. And those people are why this world is coming apart.
