How rare is an audiophile

Hey Dinov (above) youre in Florida Panhandle? Me too! Thats two rare ducks in basically the same back woods as me. The LP store in Destin area has a nice selection of LP's and even was selling some used gear. The 'on-line' businesses have crushed any brick and martyr store (error intended) . One guy I bump into occasionally is a custom cabinet guy but his reiterated audiophile tip ad nauseum is to put cork under, over, and in everything. I gently suggested there are now better sound damping materials which brought a fresh launch into the benefit of cork flooring. Was he an audiophile? We really do need a solid definition...Audiophile: "A music lover/hobbyist who acquires high fidelity equipment in an attempt to replicate music to a high degree of sonic accuracy."  .

Back in high school I knew several. Back in college I knew quite a few.  Now, not to many. There’s only a few good hifi shops left and that definitely makes it harder to meet like people.

As above, very few in number. The lack of Good hifi shops plus Stereo Shows are a direct result to the Root cause. The Internet does help bridging that Gap.

Happy Listening!
