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?

It is more about the passion that one has to experience music in its purest form. To bathe in its beauty and emotion whether you are listening to a $1K system or a $1M system. Take a look at the contributors on this site and you'll find a very wide range of income levels, but they are all certified audiophiles.

Listen to the sounds. That's audiophile." "That's why you get so many nonsense responses. They are poor people with mid-fi stereos and questionable hearing." Some people have a 180 degree different take on what an audiophile is than I do. This type of pompous, elitist thinking is a prime example of what can make this hobby laughable to outsiders.
