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

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,  

Can a turntable owners who does not own cylindrical record player really appreciate old jazz?

"...Porsche owners totally changed and not for the better..."

Does it mean that, relatively speaking, non-Porsche owners became better?

Well, Yes!!!!!!!!!!
