Fake Audiophiles

Rumor has it I am a gen-you-wine bonafide audiophile in case a reference point is needed. 

Isn't an audiophile simply someone who cares about home audio sound quality?

Am I missing something?

Why would someone fake an interest in sound quality? The only reason I can think of is to sell something to a true audiophile. Much better ways to spend one's time otherwise I would think. An indicator of such a person might be a strong bias towards a certain product or products alone. Happens a lot around here. :^)

"True Audiophile - Sound is magic"

if true, then it would seem all Audiophiles are delusional. Maybe to some degree, but I think I can identify a knowledgeable audiophile for every one that relies mainly on "magic".

I will admit that I was more that way myself when young and first getting started. Luckily, I believe I learned some things over the years.

Everyone has to start somewhere, even an audiophile. Live and learn. At first, it may well seem like magic.

Don't they hang out on the other sites, not here?

Czar email me with the name and address of your shop in NYC. I would like to stop by there next time I am in the area, usually once or twice a year or so. We always do a lot of walking in various neighborhoods to soak in teh NYC ambience and I always stop in record stores I discover there whenever I have the opportunity. Maybe I've even been to yours.
