Fake Audiophiles

Don't they hang out on the other sites, not here?

IMO:

A true Audiophile knows what they are talking about when giving out advice and when they don't know something they tell you that.

A Fake Audiophile thinks they have the correct answer to every audio question asked even if they don't know squat about the question.

B Limo-

I understand your meaning in your query. A true audiophile cares about the best home audio reproduction. Conversly, a fake audiophile makes little to no effort in obtaining the best home audio reproduction. Happy Listening!

A real audiophile actually believes his system really does sound good. Ooops, did I just say that?

I've never heard of a fake audiophile.
There are different levels of involvement in this hobby.

Sometimes an enthusiast is hampered by a lack of funds to get as deeply involved as he would like to.

Or, sometimes those with the funds,just don't feel the need to pursue it past a certain comfort level.

What I don't understand is how some folks feel that they are music lovers,not audiophiles.

We all need a "system" of some sort to enjoy the music.

If it's all about the music,then why not enjoy it to the fullest?

I suppose,if you've never heard anything better than what you have, you don't think you are missing anything.
