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

wturkey,

i hear ya!  if you've got a bit of the OCD's it can be quite crippling. 

...this is why i do not care for vinyl so much. everything is so fragile and every touch and scrape or bump of needle or record could spell disaster. 

so far i have destroyed on reel to reel tape. But by accident I have damaged a few records.

Here we go again. Put a fork in me. 

The term "audiophile" has it's use in certain applications. For me, I consider myself a music lover. That does not roll off the tongue as smoothly as  "audiophile", does it?

This makes no sense at all no one here is "excluded" this is an open, public, common forum where all are welcome to participate, post, and contribute as they see fit provided of course that they respect the rules of the forum.
