What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile?

I had been pondering this question since I have been involved in audio. Not sure what audiophile means. I went to a few fellow audio gurus get together events and although I had fun and liked the company, I felt out of place. In fact of the opinions and passion people here on Audiogon have, I do not have such strong attachments. So what is your take.... are you an audiophile? If you are, how do you know?

What about the guy that can't hear anymore but still composes music, by laying their head on the piano? Being able to hear GOOD, I'm not so sure.. It's a memory thing too.. You can remember the way it sounds in your head. Can't YOU? I sure can. Mercy gonna be a slippery slope when the memory goes though.. Flash cards.. that will work.. LOL

I think you just enjoy the sound as much as the song. Everything else just gets you there.

I would consider an audiophile anyone that pursues a higher connection with the sound and reproduction of music and i believe that most of us in this forum would it in that category.
