Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?

Raul, I was not talking about conduction down the axon. I was talking only about the conduction between neurons which occurs in the synapse by trading off charges molecules called neurotransmitters. The action potential in the neurons axon is an entirely different process which ends with the release of those neurotransmitters. Each neuron has one axon but ends in tens of synapses which communicate with other neurons. It is all a very analog process and in no way resembles digital signal processing.

They say there are no stupid questions but this is challenging that posit. 

Considering what is happening in the world at this moment, shouldn't we trying to include people and not divide? Leave that up to Donald.
Besides, it is the pursuit of audio enlightenment that we seek.The path we take is irrelevant.

Great post! thanks.... My regards tony1954

In 1982, I bought one of the first Sony CD players made.  For the next 20 years, I played nothing but CDs (even when they were going for $30 a pop).  Then I went back to vinyl, combined with SACD.  I still consider myself an audiophile - I believe the three power amps, two pre-amps, four turntables. three SACD players and multiple pairs of speakers, along with subscriptions to four audio magazines, qualifies me,
