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.

Didn’t Alberts’ neighBOHR give him plumbing advice ?

Heisenberg was stopped for speeding on the Autobahn. The cop said, do you have any idea how fast you were going? Heisenberg replied, I know I’m here, but I can’t know my location AND my speed.
A photon checks into a hotel. The bellhop asks him, “Can I help you with your luggage?” The photon replies, “I don’t have any baggage. I’m traveling light!”
BUT, did he get the ticket?

Manners pay, they don't cost!!!


27.50, another crack it's gonna be 127.50, who do you think you are Einstein?  LOL

Sokogear,

It is quite obvious to me, and I expect many others reading this thread, that you don’t have any knowledge about sampled data systems, sampling theory, signal processing, nyquist-shannon, nor the impacts of things like signal to noise ratio, timing, bandwidth limited systems, etc. Based on your comments about turntables/vinyl, you don’t understand the limitations of that format in the most rudimentary way and based on your comments about music, I don’t think you have a good understanding of what real instruments sounds like. And yet, and yet, you are trying to tell other people "how it all works", people with deep practical and academic experience who understand these topics intimately. Do you not see a problem with that?
