What type of Audio Gal or Guy are you? Do You Know?

Leaving this open ended for members to share their own definitions, categories and thoughts and stories.

So:  What type of Audiophile / Music Lover / Audio Gal or Guy are you?

 
- Can you specifically define it or do you find yourself falling within a range or multiple categories?

- What are these categories or groups?

- Was there a Eureka moment? If you have figured it out, when and how did it happen?

- Do you have any stories about things getting out of hand? Interventions? How did you rein yourself in?
  
- If you are not an Audiophile, how do you prefer to describe your interest in and pursuit of music and audio?

- Has "Know Thyself" helped you in your audio journey? How? 


Thanks.

I read that the definition of an audiophile is someone who has more money invested in their equipment than in their music. Long ago, I decided not to be that guy. However, this year, after 25 years, I did an equipment upgrade (CD player and speakers).

I was contemplating another DIY speaker project but the cost of the components and materials is roughly the cost of a good pair of used speakers. Instead of another DIY, I bought a pair of Sonus Faber Auditor M’s on Audiogon. I know first hand that there is a lot of satisfaction in DIY projects but I have other things to do.

The good and the bad of great audio gear is that it reveals the quality of the recording. My on-going challenge is to find the great recordings. I suspect others are pursuing and enjoying the same goal.
