I believe if you call yourself an Audiophile, you are, just the real desire to be such, makes it so. I am an audiophile, and have been since 1964, I took apart my parents console and built boxes for the speakers, hung them over my headboard, and ran speaker wires from the back of the console to the speakers, laid in bed and played records.....I was an audiophile.
