Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?

Just like those driving a Porsche SUV can join PCA (digital audio fans can join Audiogon) but are certainly not Porschephiles unless they also own a coupe (Panamera owners I guess gets a pass here).

Please respond with a yes or no and we'll tally a vote for the first 100 responses.

Analog is like pure heroin and digital is like pure methodone (heroin substitute), unless there’s a whole lotta tweaking goin’ on. Then you might have a chance. Maybe.
