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).

I’ve been using some of these threads as a journal, but also as a joke diary, if I have any thoughts or frustrations. As I mentioned I’m pursuing a career in standup comedy. It helps to come here and have someone to talk to but I think I felt better when I was locked up in the hospital.
