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.

Oh I forgot the old steel guitar, and my  kazoo..

The piano, harp, congas and steel pans are already out.

Don't get me going' I break my own heart, here...

I turned off the stereo.... the dog is 

Officially howling, now... good girl, joined right in...

Come on dog.. stay on key....stay in time... or vice versa!

Cool Daddy-O

I gave up gear and only listen to live music. It's what most of us are chasing. I used this same logic when I gave up golf; if the object of the game is to get the lowest score....then I win.

Labels are for cans. 
oldhvymec,

In your menagerie of musical instruments you surely may find a place for this one.....

Lotus Europas were sort of plastic, and maybe drive well...but after seeing a new one burn up years ago (fuel leak I imagine) it looked like it had melted into the street...actually had known the guy who owned it and couldn't say anything...sad...
Such crazy details sometimes increase the appeal of things. Kind of like prices of Cygnet going up now and it becoming a desirable car. It is beyond me why. Europa have been a crappy car, but it was my Matchbox when I was very little so it could not be uncool. To make it worse, I was dreaming of seeing one last night. I should stop reading audiogon.
