You're not a true audiophile unless...

I can't tell you the number of posts I've seen that start with something like this. Why are some people so anxious to qualify this like it's some sort of title? Being an "audiophile" isn't a concrete or objective thing like the citizenship of the country you were born in or being an MA. It's reflective of your hobby or taste, much like calling yourself a "foodie." Can anyone else chime in with some of the more ridiculous qualifications people have come up with for calling oneself an "audiophile?"

For me it has become an education in acoustics.

My wife also tells me that since taking up the "task" my 71 year old hearing has become much more acute and discriminating. I am hearing things in the immediate environment that I didn't used to, and I just generally paying more attention to sounds and identifying them.
