You know you're an audiophile if--

you have far more cables in a box than you have cables in your system.

OR

you have far more spare tubes than you have CD's.

OR

you spend four hours determining just the right bias setting for your amp.

OR

you spend another four hours eliminating all but one dither setting to feed your DAC -- and the one that remains is the one that the DAC was designed to uptake (20 bit).

you have far more cables in a box than you have cables in your system.
OR
you have far more spare tubes than you have CD's.

This just makes you a pack rat!! :)

When you dream of your stereo. Or a power cable like last night. A POWER CABLE! The whole time! I need help.

Boy, I read some of these and I say that, "atleast I am not that bad"! Then I sit here looking at four components brisling with Vacuum Tubes, next to a Solid State Universal Player, next to a Turntable, and next to a Computer. What's wrong with this picture? Nothing, but there might be something very wrong with the guy sitting next to this stuff! Don't think that I am going to try having sex with it though, sounds painful!

You know you're an audiophile if- spending $800 on a 1 meter pair of IC's seems like a bargain!
