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

"I don’t consider digital only guys audiophiles. They play files, not music."

You are aware that those who play records play (scratch) irregularities on plastic, not play music?

Going back to OP, would digital reel-to-reel qualify a person as an audiophile?

By the way, I will assume the OP has never driven a Cayenne Turbo.

Robertdid - I asked to stop the personal attacks, but I guess you weren't listening. I agreed with the vast majority and vote Yes, which I think was your vote. Please confirm with one word and leave out the attack.

A PERSONAL attack is one on one...not preferring a format and arguing its virtues.

Mailman - I like your sarcasm.

"...I guess you weren't listening."

The sound was not good enough. His computer is digital.

Cayenne Turbos are nice and fast I am sure, and if that is the vehicle convenience you need and don't have the space or funds to have a true Porsche, enjoy and PCA will still let you join. However, an SUV is not a Porsche. It probably has some shared parts with Audis or VWs (I know, old Porsches were sometimes made by VW).

Great comment Mijostyn. Minus the records and Porches I agree with the rest. Buying bragging rights is not the same as really knowing what is going on and how to make things better.
