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.

"Another prominent cable designer believes..."
Prominent cable designer gets three points for admitting to believe rather than claiming.

Instead of burn-in, cable risers, and all other ideas, why someone would not make cables with the principle of Schwann cells? That seems like a very logical next step. Hop-hop and there is a new dimension of "fast" in audio. My cable is faster than yours.

Come on, manufacturers who are quietly monitoring these threads to see what could be sold, try that. Nobody would be able to argue it is crap. It has worked for thousands and thousands and thousands of years and has been produced in countless billions. Now, just to figure out how to make it and that is all. What you are doing now is a copper-age joke.

I would suggest a giant squid axon, but as we all know that is unmyelinated and has poor conduction velocity. Maybe good for slow songs....

Perfect for geoffkait’s headphone cable. We just have to figure the direction out because he will not be able to,

glubson,

Interesting. I shall put that on the list next to the upcoming wireless quantum entanglement system. Doesn't get any faster than that...

That complicates it. If the cable tangles, do directions nullify each other? Where is geoffkait to enlighten us?
