You know you're an audiophile if--


You just got a pair of speakers you can barely move yourself (inverse proportionality with age probably too)

The first house you bought cost less than your current stereo investment (ditto)

You have boxes of cables with which you don't know what to do

You know you're an audiophile if it takes more than half an hour to treat a CD.
you allocating funds little-by little, purchasing $20k Burmester or MBL, than bs-ing your wife you've paid $200.
You BS your wife about your new toys saying "I found those old thing in storage and just dusted them off." Then TAS arrives two days later with your newly acquired toys (all $18k of the tax return and settlement) in the editors choice section. And she still doesn't get it. I love my honey, but she will never know how much I sweat that one! And that is why she got the $5k earnings for her birthday! Wait, did I get played?
When your amp cost over $5000.00 and was state of the art in 1980 ... and you presently have it safely tucked away as a spare.
