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

@mammothguy54      
This question is similar to the ski and snowboard debate. I know it’s different in California but up here in Canada(whistler mountain) snowboarding numbers are dwindling. I have done both equally but have to say skiing is the superior over snowboarding. Now snowboarding is only occasionally with my snowboarding friends. I used to do digital and vinyl equally also. Now I’m only vinyl.  
But snowboarding is still a serious sport and digital is still a serious source.

Analog is like pure heroin and digital is like pure methodone (heroin substitute), unless there’s a whole lotta tweaking goin’ on. Then you might have a chance. Maybe.

By whom should the judgement be made?  The Audiophile Board of Governors?  Which thankfully does not exist.  The question is pointless.

Judge should be AES. Controlled blind tests up the yin yang, obviously.

You're kidding?..........Aren't you?????
