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).

An Audiophile is a Gearhead who also loves to listen to music. He/She will often spend more than they can comfortably afford in order to get a great sounding system. It's fine as long as they're enjoying the hobby. 

A Music Lover can listen to a Sony Walkman and be perfectly happy.
But they could also get curious about a shop that carries a pair of incredible sounding speakers, and then trying to decide if it's worth it to buy something like that.
