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.

"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.

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.

Yes and that is the thing about audiophiles. Most people think it means likes to listen to music. But it can also mean likes to listen to digital.

Absolutely not. Audiophiles are gadget freaks. The turntable is the ultimate gadget surpassed only by the automobile.
