I Don't Want to be an Audiophile, What am I...


I don't know why I don't like the term Audiophile. There is just something about it I don't like. Too Euro Trash maybe? Perhaps Hobbyist is a better description for me?

I don’t want to belong to any club that would have me as a member.

I’m proud to be an audiophile. The term has no "stereotypical" negative connotations for me. It’s been a hell of a rewarding journey, and I’ve met some brilliant people. I’m proud of the system I’ve built with nearly no budget, the path I took, what I’ve learned, the intensity with which I went at it, and the end results of that pursuit. I happen to think the recorded music in my home sounds stunning, and I enjoy listening to the system with the same level of passion I pursued building it with.   No regrets, no apologies.

Anyone with a collection of LPs might like devyneophile.

Very masculine.
