what kind of audiophile are you ?


since it is obvious that a boom box or car radio is all that is necessary for most people to enjoy music, hobbyists have other objectives.

as i see it, there are three types of audiophiles:

1) equipment fanatics
2) compulsive pursuers of accuracy
3) aesthetic appreciators of instrumental timbre

i am type 3) person, which one are you ?

I confess I may be all of the above. . . I fear I may also be a lover of music, of its instruments, history, philosophy, and socio-anthropological implications. Does that qualify me as an audiophile, or just as an odd duck?

Yeah, I agree with Dave; I think there can be combinations. I've definitely felt like all three on more than one occassion, though more often 1 and 3. And then there are the days when the boom box and car radio are just fine.
