In 1982, I bought one of the first Sony CD players made. For the next 20 years, I played nothing but CDs (even when they were going for $30 a pop). Then I went back to vinyl, combined with SACD. I still consider myself an audiophile - I believe the three power amps, two pre-amps, four turntables. three SACD players and multiple pairs of speakers, along with subscriptions to four audio magazines, qualifies me,
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).
