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.

"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.
Sure Walrus.

Hey Zoo-boy - it's called entertainment, fun and maybe some knowledge transfer (maybe more in other discussions) This one has touched on audio equipment (analogue and yes , digital), cars - (Porsches and others and yes, SUV's), Rolexes, biology, anatomy, physics, psychoacoustics and others I'm forgetting. Please lighten up.

394 and counting.....
Since the consensus here seems to be "yes" and I listen to both analog & digital, I must be a double audiophile. Not sure I like that.
