You might be an audiophile if...


With apologies to Mr. Jeff Foxworthy, thought it would be fun to come up with (clean) examples of the wretched excesses that us poor audiophiles are subject to. I'll start it off. Extra points for originality and wit.

You might be an audiophile if your stereo costs more than your car. Or your house.

You might be an audiophile if - you've ever had to choose between a girlfriend and a new pair of speakers.

...each of your speakers weigh more than you do.

...you've changed one or more of your components more frequently than you
brush your teeth.

...it makes sense to put together just one more system to go along with the
other six you already have setup throughout your house, and the four in
storage (there is still the cellar stairs after all...you can fit a chair there at the
bottom, and carpet the stairs and add some Echo Busters..)

...your LP collection requires its own separate room.

...not only do you know what the "Fred's Head Mod" is, you actually have the
green and blue pens to prove it.
...if one or more of the following LP/CD's are among your collection:

Jazz at the Pawnshop
Anything by Diana Krall
Anything by Jacintha
Dark Side of the Moon*
Brothers in Arms*
Any Stereophile Test CD
Anything by Patricia Barber
Muddy Waters Folk Singer

*approved "Audiophile" version required (more than one copy of
either qualifies)

....if you own and listen to LPs/CDs which you don't even enjoy the music on
but they make your system sound really amazing

....if any of the following are on your speed dial

Your local high end shop
Your local music store
Rives

...if you've started a mutual fund for your kid's first system

...if your the cost of your analog rig could pay for a year at an Ivy League
school

...if your idea of a fun weekend is perusing garage sales and flea markets for
vinyl

...if you routinely find yourself with a half-dozen or more unopened CDs/LPs
among your collection, simply for lack of 'listening time'

...your local high-end shop has put up a plaque dedicating their new analog
listening room in your name
