Fake Audiophiles


-In your opinion, what makes an Audiophile a true Audiophile?

-In your opinion, what do fake Audiophiles do that makes them fake?

I know these two questions open the door to all kinds of jokes but I'm looking for more thought out, honest opinions here.

I was reading some posts on another site debating break in of audio gear.

Something ticked.

Maybe the folks who love the sound of vintage gear do so because that gear over the course of years of playing has truly been broken in.

Perhaps the folks who scoff at the break in concept and claim it doesn't exist are-

1- the folks who own vintage gear

2- never keep the gear long enough to hear it break in.

So here's something to ponder-

Real audiophile keeps gear long enough for it to break in

Fake audiophile - constantly finding fault with gear and switching about(perhaps due to snap judgement and no break in period).
Zavato,
It's seriously visa versa to what you said.
I realized that equipment that I have is too good to me and I can even have it simpler to enjoy terabytes of hi-rez digital downloads and near 10,000 of vinyl records.
A fake audiophile purchases all the high end cases with nothing inside. Looks great but can't play music.
