You know you have audiophile system when...

@omega125 , that's a good 'long form' description. 👍

But, like any pursuit that can lead to extremism, there are those that indulge.

I suspect most, when at a certain point, be it age, budget,, the SAF ceiling, or just simple satiation or weariness of the 'chase'....

Stop. *L*

There are 'niche' players; I am one.

I like to listen not only to the music (#1), but to the 'system' when desired (#2).
Since I diy Walsh speakers, it's kinda a necessity to do so.

My system would make some shake their heads, and claim derangement.

I don't really care, as others are more than welcome to pursue as desired/needed.

Someone has to 'create' the odd 'used' item I may desire at some point.
One rationale to hang about here is to form my own opinion of what that may be on that lovely day. *S*
It also allows to opinionate what I may feel is frivolous, and be ignored until not.

Takes all kinds to fill these forums.
Welcome to it. ;)

Have a pleasant week, J

You know you have an audiophile system when you don’t feel the need to ask if you have one. 

This is true....

Because when any music sound at his best....Acoustic factors dont lie...

I would think you need a certified panel of audiophiles to vote you in. Otherwise just crash the party. 😎
