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

First one leaves most rockers out, last one most Classical lovers, middle one explains dearth of lady 'philes .
If you have a big bunch of RCA Living Stereo CDs but never play them.
You have at least two pre-amps, one with xlr and one with RCA connectors to match your (at least) two amplifiers...
You have so many isolation blocks/platforms that you could live in San Francisco and barely notice any earthquakes...
You don't know what a center channel loudspeaker is...
Not smoking, drinking, or having children in your home is considered a positive lifestyle...
Your LP collection is displayed near your gear but your turntable is in the closet because you don't have room for it on or in the rack....
You buy a new piece of equipment and believe that dismantling the ENTIRE Salamander Designs cabinet is an occasionally enjoyable thing to do...
You have "back up" equipment just in case any of your multi-thousand dollar pieces goes on the blink...
When you tell non-files their CD player could benefit from a modern DAC and they look at you...and look at you
Finally, you're an audiophile because there ARE differences in the stuff you buy and more times than not you can actually HEAR it.
To Cerrot regarding his earlier post about the lack of being able to drool over used equipment through the window of a stereo shop.

Audio Exchange in NYC is still going strong. While the used stuff isn't out there on display you can still walk in and ask. Great shop!
...if you read classifieds here and wonder why anyone would put "high end" in the listing. Duh.....
