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?

My pet peeve is when one obsesses over the law of diminishing returns. IMO this does not exist if one considers themselves an Audiophile. Where did this simple minded formula come to fruition... $20k amp must sound 10x better than a $2k amp? How could this even be measured(lol)? The $20k amp could be capable of hundreds of sonics improvements over the $2k amp. IMO the $20k amp is the bargain.

I pretty much start every day listening to classical music on ipod and Bose ipod dock/speaker...

Audiofile

A person that is may never happy with the sound they have and has to have the latest design. Of course that does not mean they do not love music it just mean they can't completely enjoy what the have.
