At what price is one considered an Audiophile.

Audiophilia, what is is it?

Is it the love of music or the equipment that presents the music.

Or is it both?

What is the cost of admission?

How much does one have to spend on equipment to be considered an Audiophile, if it is truly the later than the music.

What has membership to this perceived exclusive club cost you?

Total then about $40g Can. Now: Marantz 1040, Mission speakers, Technics 1400 Mk2, Shure M97x. All used except cartridge. Total: $750 Can. including NAD cd and old iPhone. It sounds great! After 35 years or so I just lost interest in the “hobby” and in the endless spending. But not in the music. Still an Audiophile … Don’t need extravagant set ups to enjoy music.
