what kind of audiophile are you ?

I'm not exactly any of the above. I love the look of equipment particularly in silver but I wouldn't say I'm a fanatic. I don't pursue accuracy because I perceive accuracy as sometimes, cold or analytical, too precise, too razor sharp. I like the idea of correct instrument timbre but it's not my focus. I guess I'm more into having the music sound real, the real sound of a cymbal as it's struck by the drumstick, the "thwack" sound of a rim shot on a snare drum, the screech of the trumpet or sax on a high note. I'm into realistic reproduction of music. Haven't gotten all the way there yet- my system is still a little warm and not extended enough in the upper mids and highs.

In retrospect, I think Shadorne has hit on it. Those with systems where they are feeling musical bliss, those constantly changing out gear seeking bliss. I unfortunately fall in the latter group.
