Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?

Just like those driving a Porsche SUV can join PCA (digital audio fans can join Audiogon) but are certainly not Porschephiles unless they also own a coupe (Panamera owners I guess gets a pass here).

Please respond with a yes or no and we'll tally a vote for the first 100 responses.

Yes, but only if they have an 8-track instead.

There's enough "us vs. them" already in this world, so I think anyone who considers himself an audiophile should be welcome into our little club.

To me that’s a nasty question. 

For less than the cost of a high end vinyl set up one can get stellar streaming (with DAC). A blind listening test would supervise you. 
If the question was posted sincerely then ok if not then grrrr.
