If I "REALLY" do some deep soul searching and be honest about what type of audiophile I really am, I would say that I am a "Type I/Type II" hybrid. I love to listen to good music on a good system. I am one audiophile who happens to think that half of the fun of being in this hobby in the first place, is the journey that you take to reach your destination, if you catch my drift. By that, I mean that I love to take on the challenge of mixing, matching and experimenting with different components in pursuit of building a great system. But once that plateau has been reached (finally achieving great sound from an audio system that I have built with my own bare hands and my own "trial and error" and sweat), I then want to sit back, and enjoy the fruits of my labor, which is what I then would call getting great sound from great music (which what I hope is everything the artist has intended for the listener to hear.......... with nothing added or taken away......... but this is often easier said than done even with the VERY best of audio systems).
I hope that you haven't lost me here, and that this best answers your question.
Best Regards and Happy Listening!!!!!!!!
