Audiophile: "One who cannot understand why they are fascinated by overpriced boxes of wires"(one should not confuse the term "Audiophile" with the term "Audiofool" or "Audionut".
Audiofool: "One who cannot stop buying different boxes of wires with expectations that the most recent box will sound superior to the previous boxes"
Audionut: "One who hoards different boxes of wires (much like a squirrel stores nuts in the ground at different locations) with the intention of digging them out when an appetite has been felt"
Note: The term "Audiophile" is often misspoken when one means to say "music lover". A music lover is a "Melophile" not an "Audiophile". It is very rare that a person is both a melophile and an audiophile and it has not occured since the 1780s when Luigi Galvani first observed the effect of static electricity in causing the legs of a frog to twitch, and observed the same effect produced just due to certain metallic contacts with the frog involving a complete circuit. Luigi was known to his friends to connect wires to frogs and he loved listening to music.
