You know you're an audiophile if--

I prefer the term "audiophiliac" to "audiophile" because it suggests a chronic condition.

Audiophiliac- unrealistic fear of Audio Equipment.
Audiophile- unrealistic lack of fear around smoking Audio
Equipment. Typically characterized by charred black carbon
covering Audiophiles face. "I like the smell of a smoked
Amplifier in the morning. It reminds me of......the last
scene in THE RIGHT STUFF"!

Petty: How's that wagon of yours? :)

As long as sqeakiest wheel gets all of the grease, Wagon is
rolling along just fine. I think that it is past due for
me to get involved in DIY. Time to get hands dirty, smoke
a few Amps, and learn something for a change! Paying someone else a real big hunk of change to enjoy all of
that fun-NUTS!

When you're obsessed with posting in audio forums. ;-)
