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.

Considering many of us went on hiatus in the 80s-90s with our turntables. 

CDs filled the void

and now digital media

If I could afford to live in Manhattan,
I couldn’t afford to have all my lps and gear with me

DAP, Tube headphone amp, headphones

we should be inclusive to those wanted to hear more realism in music 
This is an email I just replied to a friend of mine about this: Just for reference I’m vinyl only now.  @andera 

Yes. I know it got really strange. That’s why I recommended to only read the first page. This is the analog forum and you can see a bias towards analog but no definite  side against digital. Once the post started to get popular it attracted the wackos. What a stupid post anyway inferring that people that listen to digital aren’t audiophiles. I was once digital only for a few years and was just as much of an audiophile then as I am now.

"Perhaps the brain activity of someone who listens to a lot of digital music would show up as a series of blocks on the EEG graph."
Perhaps it would be a lots of jitter. Wait, it already looks like jitter. Nevermind, it was jitterkait’s EEG.
