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

Yes - but a Loaded question....
Age and financials play a part. Someone young today likely does not have a big vinyl collection. Older generations do and prize them.
An audiophile enjoys music and makes it the best sounding experience with the best equipment they desire and can afford. It's not a status symbol, however it is for many. To each his/her own.
