Types of Audiophiles
The Purist
A good stereo should be a transparent window into the recording session with no opinion or distortion of it’s own
The Dynamics Fanatics
A good stereo is like a thrill ride at a carnival. If I’m not jumping it isn’t worth listening to.
Live and Let Live
It’s all good man, put your money where your heart lies.
The Bean Counter
Buys gear like he’s stocking a used stereo store. Purchase price and retail value determine what comes and goes out.
The Canners
I bought my balanced headphones specifically so you wouldn’t ask me questions while I’m listening to dub step.
The Scientist
You can’t prove you have a soul so all your opinions are meaningless.
The Blind Follower
Can’t hear a difference between amp A and B so he wants to know if he should spend 5x more on B and will wait to be told which to get.
The Brand Loyalist
Falls in love with the idea of a brand or designer and changes his job to accommodate the demands of his audio jewelry

@gruvjet I believe there is one test for an audiophile. You tell him/her: "I bought this cable for $3600" If his/her eyes light up or just widen in anticipation ("ok, go on, what difference did it make") - he is an audiophile.") We know all the other non-audiophile reactions |
@erik_squires Agreed, I think we all are audiophiles, not because we claim to be but simply by enjoying the process. |
