I think I fit best in whatever cateory Leedistad's, Mrjstark's, and Timrhu's comments suggest. I want a system that makes good sounds at an affordable price. Accuracy,instrumental realism etc don't interest me as much as the music itself and the "listenability" of the system. I want a system that facilitates enjoying the music. I listen primarily for the aesthetic experience...to be moved.
what kind of audiophile are you ?
since it is obvious that a boom box or car radio is all that is necessary for most people to enjoy music, hobbyists have other objectives.
as i see it, there are three types of audiophiles:
1) equipment fanatics
2) compulsive pursuers of accuracy
3) aesthetic appreciators of instrumental timbre
i am type 3) person, which one are you ?
