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 overhear some clods at a bar talking about a "3-way", and you think they're discussing a type of dynamic loudspeaker design.
You finish reading this thread and go off on someone who paid big bucks for this high-end Cd player, just to sell it on the cheap because he didn't want to go buy everything again on vinyl and you laugh and laugh....just to realize that He just posted on this thread, too......

(true story...)
The bill collectors start calling.
That damn $$$ cable was such a good price, oh yeah.
You travel 2,500 miles across the country to see to see your significant other's family and within 5 minutes of arrival you're talking to your brother in law about tube vs transistor power amps.
The only contested item in your divorce was the stereo system. And you agreed to buy a new one for the wife, Because she wouldnt trust anyone else.
You use $20,000 cd player as a transport but your best clothes are from Walmart.
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.
You find yourself buying the same album/composition (especially if it's on CD) over and over again, because there's something not quite right....
You might be an audiophile if you have a thousand CD's in you collection and only listen to those favorite 10 because of their sonic characteristics. (Not guilty any more)
You once wondered how anyone could accumulate so many A'gon points and you are now somewhere in the 3 digits and climbing.
Artizen, How about selling the rest except 10 of the best sonics for a better player or separates?
