I was on a thread here where a guy was asking for tracks that would show off his speakers, and appeared ecstatic because he had a system that allowed him to listen to his speakers without the music distracting him
Not sure your assumption is really correct. To me it's more like having a sports car and asking for other drivers to recommend roads that I can enjoy with it. It's not always the destination it can be the journey. That and if you're posting here you at least have audiophile tendencies or you'd be posting somewhere else, maybe on a quilting site.
I'm personally not hung up on labels Am I an audiophile? I meet the definition. Am I music lover? Meet that definition too but hopefully I'm more of a positive influence than negative.
When do I get my chip?
