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.

You live with your wife and seven children in one room apartment which is a dedicated listening room. The worst thing that can happen to you is loosing your stereo system because you have nothing more left. This is the outcome of your constant upgrades.

(Not guilty any more)
