What is an Audiophile? Here's the list for newbies.

An audiophile would spend a full day listen to just 1 track over and over

An audiophile would skip family dinner to stay with his audio system (if he had a choice)

An audiophile would stare in a space between the front speakers for hours

An audiophile will constantly find way to improve his system. (Once he found it, he became a music lover)

An audiophile would prefer a stereo 2-ch as his main system

An audiophile would not use a passive or active equalizer

An audiophile would drive a shitty car that’s worth less than his speaker cables

An audiophile may had tried an interconnect cable’s that cost more than his cdp

An audiophile would avoid using an additional active powered subwoofer

An audiophile will have a collection of CDs or records of instrumental music and classical, jazz, vocals more than today's hip hop, country, gospel, new age, disco.

An audiophile will not engage to his co-worker's newly purchased home theater set up

An audiophile will not own 1 complete brand new system purchased from the store in his life time

An audiophile in America will have an AudioGon account

So, are you an audiophile?

A true audiophile is prepared to change his mind at the drop of his latest audio magazine.

A true audiophile sees non-audiophiles (inc family) the same way as they see accessories, but not necessarily the most important ones.

A true audiophile is 10% believer and a 90% paranoiac.

A true audiophile's playable music collection shrinks with time.

A true audiophile knows the importance of maintenance. Every plug, fuse, CD, record must be cleaned scrupulously. Cables must be checked and double checked for directionality, tracking weight adjusted for correctness, bias too.

True audiophiles love the immersive properties of vinyl. That's before they play a single record.

And how do I know? I've been there.
I was a true audiophile, of course. But unfortunately time wore me down. 

Now all I have left is the music.

Yes multiple copies of A Kind of Blue (I'm on my third - twice CD and once vinyl) and that other perennial, Dark Side of the Moon (only on my second CD).

I also suspect my Beatles collection is far from finished too. At least 3 different copies of Abbey Road.. and counting.

@mg16 , "An audiophile is someone who, when they are not listening to music through their system, is thinking about listening to music through their system."

Ouch! That hurts, but I'm still laughing - mostly at myself.
