how much to $pend to claim i am an audiophile?

I have a lot of money in music and equipment and love great sound but don't claim to be an audiophile.

You are an audiophile when your friends just roll their eyes when you you say for the 6th time in a year "I'm really done this time".

You know that you're an audiophile when you can look in the mirror and say out loud "My name is Jack, I'm an audiophile, and I'm powerless over my disease.

Ask not how much you need to spend but rather, how much have you got? Think black hole sucking money!

to answer your question about the grado head phones,yes but only if you listen to patricia barber on them thru a tube amp.

An audiophile is a person who spends exorbitant sums of money on hype and then discovers it's not about what others think but rather what one hears.
