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.

Raul keeps posting the same nonsense repeatedly, including personal attacks about brains, behavior, etc. This is not the place for that. Do you understand what a personal attack is versus a logical argument? I doubt it. 

I forget Raul did you vote yes or no to the original question? 

Please don't bring up Trump. This is supposed to be fun. My question is the leading discussion trending on Audiogon which is what I wanted. There is no ultimate judge as to whether someone is an Audiophile or not. It would be something you would self describe. If someone wants to call themselves an audiophile, its a free country. No judge and jury - if the question was would you call them an audiophile if they don't own or never have owned a turntable and audiophile, that's your opinion and it can't be right or wrong.
I still don't know what the attraction for turntables and vinyl is all about other than the looks of a $20,000 turn table.

Right now I think streaming is what it is all about.  So nice to not have to get up and down to change an album or song.  Plus playing music in hi-res is really nice to listen to.
Being an audiophile is not about what you own.  Its about how you get what you own to sound!
"...the brain information through the Axon is continuous."
If we are really disassembling it to this level, for the sake of disassembling, then saltatory conduction should not be ignored. Could that signal be called "non-continuous"? I do not know what to do with it in this case, but Nodes of Ranvier do exist.
