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).

zoophaugus,
What I find astounding is the sheer number of people who have so much trouble spelling a simple word like loser.
Raul, don't believe me. I'm just a peasant. Do google the human cochlea,
organ of corti and the physiology of human hearing. Neurons and all of our sensors are neither off or on. They are always somewhere in between. Off is dead. There is less active and more active. Pain is a good example. I can step on your foot and get a certain level of pain and I can take a full swing at your foot with a sledge hammer and that will get a more intense level of pain. Very analog. If I hooked you up to a DAC you would probably throw it against the wall uttering whatever four letter words you have in your native language. A few English ones might even sneak through before you try to kill me. Very typical human behavior. But please, this is just an example and I have no intention of swinging anything at you. I love your accent. 

Zoophaugus, don't be a party pooper. Silly posts sometimes enact very interesting discussions. if you feel left out or somehow disenfranchised please visit another post. I'm sure you can find one to your liking. 

Avsjerry, I'm not sure but I think that might make you a Pack Man.

Twoch, nobody cares. At least I think nobody cares. Lick your finger and stick it up in the air.

Geoffkait, I am totally lost.

"Pain is a good example. I can step on your foot and get a certain level of pain and I can take a full swing at your foot with a sledge hammer and that will get a more intense level of pain. Very analog."
Would stepping be C and sledge hammer A? Or both are A? Sledge hammer should be A, but what about stepping? I am really not sure, but would like to learn. Is it really a good example against what rauliegas was trying to convey?

"A few English ones might even sneak through before you try to kill me. Very typical human behavior."
Oh man, you have been hanging out with the wrong crowd.
