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

Okay, this sounds like fun. My Stereo Can Beat Up Your Stereo All my stuff is bigger, badder, and better looking. Including me. The Bait and Switch You get lured in with the promise of an evening of musical bliss. Then the subject abruptly changes to laser prostate surgery, politics, and/or his guitar/car/wine collection. The Genre Narcissist The only music that exists are genres he prefers. All others are completely invisible and/or intellectually and culturally insulting. The Multitasker The guy who can critically listen while sumultaneously returning texts, play tug of war with the dog, and use the camera on his phone to check for nosehairs. Good topic, Erik |
I'm definitely drinking the wrong breakfast beverage. I want what @asvjerry is having. |
@waytoomuchstuff - excellent! And it's a good thing we never see genre narcissists on any of the music threads! 🤣 |
