You know you're an audiophile if--

When you return home from a party you comment on how bad the sound was there.

Speakerwire and interconnects turn you on more than women.

Pepperg73.... HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! yeah. I feel that way sometimes.

you take funeral leave from work because your amp died

I fit some of these -- cables especially. Never went truly high end on the interconnects -- just trying to match. As a result of the Audiogon auctions -- I have interconnects from Ridge Street Audio, Boulder Cable (with inline bybees) a host of bybees as well just for other applications and now -- have three more pairs of interconnects, plus one more digital cable on its way.

So yeah -- I guess I am an audiophile.

Not to mention that I just spent three hours determining the right dither setting on my Audio Alchemy DTI Pro32 to feed into my Muse Model 2 Plus DAC. Turns out -- the 20 bit setting (which is what the DAC was designed for) is best to my ears. Still -- I wouldn't have known except for the fact that I went through an audition of each setting multiple times in a double elimination tournament format.

Yeah -- I guess the hobby is where it's at.
