At what price is one considered an Audiophile.


Audiophilia, what is is it?

Is it the love of music or the equipment that presents the music.

Or is it both? 

What is the cost of admission?

How much does one have to spend on equipment to be considered an Audiophile, if it is truly the later than the music.

What has membership to this perceived exclusive club cost you?

How long is a piece of string?

It's all relative.  Some gear out there I dream of owning, some Audiophile gatekeepers, call it "midfi."  While my humble system would be an audiophile system to regular folks or those that are just entering the hobby.  

 

You could have a $10k pair of speakers and someone with a $50k+ pair of speakers might call those speakers beginner or midfi.  

 

It all depends on the quality of musical reproduction and enjoyment an owner gets from their system.  Other people don't matter.  Dealers don't matter.  Reviewers don't matter.  It's all about personal enjoyment and satisfaction.  

Don't try to get satisfaction from others.  Get satisfaction for yourself from the music.
