You know you have audiophile system when...


The definition of an audiophile systems is truly unknown, but recently after dabbling with tube rolling, power cables, and interconnects my system achieved a level where its clarity was no longer what grabbed my attention. Instead, I was distinctly hearing the bloom and decay of every note in the music. It’s just a different level that I believe has me listening to music differently.  It translates into greater dynamics and voices and instruments having more distinct vibrato characteristics.

I hate the tag Audiophile. Who coined the phrase? 

It's all about musical entertainment, nothing more, nothing less.

When you listen to music & get lost in it, forgetting you're listening to reproduction equipment. That's what its all about......

Audiophiledom is a club. As Groucho Marx said, I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member. Nobody want to be called an audiophile. Go into any record store that sells used records - the owners have one word audiophilenut. They don't bother to separate it into two.

Seriously..."a person who is especially interested in high-fidelity sound reproduction". It can be any system or no system.

jonwolfpell has it right.

But how difficult is that for some of us to achieve?
