You know you're an audiophile if--

You simply cannot relax in your music room without being tormented with thoughts such as: "Can we raise the ceiling? What if the room were just 3 feet wider" Geez, why didn't I take the time to run those cables under the floor? This lighting sucks! and on and on it goes.

Rather than have expensive dental surgery, you just have your tooth pulled so that you can buy an expensive power cord.
You'd have to be NUTS to do that.
Let me introduce myself. I'm Nuts.

And collectively the room full of toothless Audiogoners respond: "Hi Nuts"

Hey, I figure I'll, probably, lose all my teeth, one day, anyway, so what the hell.
I may be crazy. But, I'm not stupid. Maybe I should be a Fox news anchor.

When you have finally assembled a 450 SLC in your living room, but now want a 580.

When inordinate prices don't make you blink, but make you think "How long it will take, instead"

When you have more money in wires than in your IRA.

wHEN YOU ARE BARTERING FOR YOUR KIDS BRACES WITH A VINTAGE INTEGRATED.

wHEN YOUR SYSTEM HAS FINALLY GOTTEN EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT IT... YOU SELL IT and start over

When even the bathroom has bass traps.

When you go to Lowes, you begin to think about just how many fiberglass panels it would take to fix all the issues.

When you start your auditionsd in the 'big room'.

...... or when you just never seem to be quite done building your rig.
