A Purist when listening to classical , jazz and folk
A Dynamic Fanatic when listen to rock
A DIY Penny Pincher looking at moving up all of time
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

@larsman I don't know about that statement. I've made about 200-250 live event recordings at major symphony halls and smaller locations of orchestral, chamber and choral music. As well as at many other recording sessions. I know what they sound like up front and 10 rows back. When I play back those recordings, I'm a Purist. I'm also a Live and Let Live, whatever makes one happy with their audio choices and resulting sound. |
