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.

I use plumber brass caps and copper tape and I transform all acoustic in my room….

This is audiophile madness turned real....

For the cost of a few bananas.....

Owning a turntable or a dac is way less important than the acoustical sphere of your room....

sokogear,

You are like a 5 year old child, making an analogy to a literal rocket scientist, on how rockets works ... To people who actually know what they are talking about, that is how you sound. Does that analogy bother you?

“ Porsche 914 people were bullied....( now ) I get people coming up to me extolling the virtues of the 914 and these are people I remember telling me 15 years ago they weren’t any good “

Einstein never mocked the physics knowledge of his neighbour, his plumber did.....  :)

Einstein's neighbors likely never tried to teach Einstein physics with grade school analogies :-)   There is a difference between mocking lack of knowledge and mocking the lack of desire to learn.
