Types of Audiophiles


The Purist

A good stereo should be a transparent window into the recording session with no opinion or distortion of it’s own

 

The Dynamics Fanatics

A good stereo is like a thrill ride at a carnival. If I’m not jumping it isn’t worth listening to.

 

Live and Let Live

It’s all good man, put your money where your heart lies.

 

The Bean Counter

Buys gear like he’s stocking a used stereo store. Purchase price and retail value determine what comes and goes out.

 

The Canners

I bought my balanced headphones specifically so you wouldn’t ask me questions while I’m listening to dub step.

 

The Scientist

You can’t prove you have a soul so all your opinions are meaningless.

 

The Blind Follower

Can’t hear a difference between amp A and B so he wants to know if he should spend 5x more on B and will wait to be told which to get.

 

The Brand Loyalist

Falls in love with the idea of a brand or designer and changes his job to accommodate the demands of his audio jewelry

Live and Let Live is a perfect description for me. Spend your money how you see fit on what you like. 

*G*  At least no ones' throwing bricks...yet.... ;)

Brilliant, @erik    although I suspect there's a lot of hybrids, mutants, deviants, 'remixes', pervs.... 😏  I'm OK with being somewhere within all that...

"Just the facts, ma'am..."

"You can't handle the truth!"

"A walk through the ocean of most souls will scarcely get your feet wet..."

"We're All bozos' on this bus..."

"I think I'll run away to Mars..."

Pick your path, as long as it's valid to You. *S*

Cheers, *clink* 

Call me a Dynamics Fanatic I guess....   not really a purist, I like it to sound "live" for lack of a better word.    Purist in my love for simple gear without a lot of features,  stripped down .   No tone controls , all tube .   Horns of course 

The Seeker

They call me The Seeker I've been searching low and high I won't get to get what I'm after Till the day I die.
