I lately wonder why I’m an Audiophile.

Ever since I lately stopped obsessing over sound quality and started really listening to  music I’m wondering why fidelity was so important to my appreciation.  Not that I’m totally on the wagon.  I still revel in hearing wonderful sound.  It’s just not so all-important anymore.  And, sometimes very poorly recorded recordings do turn me off.  
It’s just freeing not being so obsessed.

Food for thought, you can be an obsessed audiophile and still enjoy the music as it is and always will be about the music and the pleasure it brings to our troubled minds. Enjoy the music

Could it be that you have reached nirvana smiley. Seriously though, I think you are right. It's about percentage. How faithful and realistic the sound has to be to transport you to a domain where you can enjoy the music without asking for more realism? Maybe that "place" is different for different people. Enjoy it.

In addition to yourself, who else has labeled you “audiophile?”  You might be the only member of your club, in which case you are more than entitled to create endless meaningless distinctions.  Carry on, sir.
