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.

rixthetrick:  Sitting in the amp is stout granite block with felt in between. You cannot see the felt.  It’s just to prevent vibration on the Steel plate cover .  The amps are sitting on Symposium Roller block.  I have since engineered and  built custom rack and plinths. Also added Aurender ,  enlarged room and optimised with Acoustic room treatment .  Just realized I need to update pics .   
rixthetrick:   Correction.  sitting ON the amp .......amps are sitting on .... roller BLOCKS.  
jssmith: I like your comment adding spin to the topic.  Replies will need another thread on the forum.  With improvements in analog and digital gear the gap is narrowing considerably. Also people are employing  tweaks and room treatment which improve S.Q. .  Like another issue SS vs tubes.   But let’s stay on the topic  regards audiophile characterisation
yes.

I owned a 911 Cab, traded it in on a Cayenne, then that a Touareg, but I’ve never stopped appreciating the art of the Porsche.
There goes Raul again with the personal attacks....I’m reading brains are continuous and digital is not. Why not match how the brain hears?

Still vote yes the digital guys can still be considered audiophiles who listen to files, not music.
