What's your definition of an audiophile?


Our love of audio is really basic biology with the brains dopamine reward system. The more we get pleasure with something the more we seek it out for the brains dopamineric response. Better sounding music equal more reward. MUSIC is our high! I tried to be a little eccentric from a science perspective. Alan Parsons cynically said "Audiophiles don’t use their equipment to listen to music. Audiophiles use your music to listen to their equipment”. Let me hear your definition

One of my friends characterizes an audiophile as someone who has "more dollars than sense".

Hopefully, it is someone who enjoys music, but in my experience, many of them seem to enjoy the equipment more than the music.
