The jewelry types. Each piece is jewelry, be it a cable, or even a cable end. The blue VU meters to the feel of the volume knob. I myself found the high-end volume knobs around 1980 felt sexy. The hi end stereo store of the 80's were like jewelry stores. After all, the prices are the same.
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

@erik_squires Agreed, I think we all are audiophiles, not because we claim to be but simply by enjoying the process. |
