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.

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.
