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).

Yes!
The Porsche analogy is a good one. As millercarbon stated early on amidst a rum-induced post, it is about the driving experience and listening experience. It doesn’t matter what Porsche or audio gear gets you to your own nirvana. 
Not being able to afford the ‘67 mechanical fuel injected 911 S my friend obtained in high school around 1980 (now worth 200k), I sought 7 years ago to purchase an ‘85-89 air cooled 911. After sitting in one however, my 6’4” large frame was not comfortable and I bought a 996 with an after market supercharger... what many would consider heretical. In the time I had it (the supercharger had issues), I was in heaven... and hope to own a 911 again someday when I retire.I also own Klipsch Heresys, and yes they too are fun and give me a thrill.
