Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have??????
You are not if you haven't figure out the difference between PCL and DSD. you are not if your software Music doesn't have a second backup copy. if you are not playing from NAS. if you don't have separate component for each stage.. better if you have multiple components for each stage ;). if you don't spend time looking at new listing on audiogon.. |
You're not a serious audiophile if you never took advantage of a sensitive moment to buy something - I told my wife that I was negotiating a new pair of speakers the day my first kid was born. There she was holding the baby with tears of pain and joy and I just told her "Honey, I found a real good bargain, the speakers I've been talking about for almost half price. I'm ordering them later today! ... Our baby is sooo cute!" |
If you drive a POS car so you can divert $ to the stereo... If you have a transistor. tube, and another transitor preamp in case one fails.... If you have one table with two armwands just in case...and another table for ?? If you have a drawer of extra ICs and PCs..... If you have ever recommended something cuz the dog liked it... All true... |
If you have not yet incorporated the kitchen sink to potentially enhance your listening experience some way or another :P Interesting idea this person has using the exercise steppers for isolation. Filled with water or sand he might be on to something there http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/648979705-dynaudio_special_25_speakers_and_stands/images/4032... |
You're not really serious unless while sitting in your dedicated listening room trying to enjoy the music, you can't, due to the fact that your mind is racing whilst considering that next big ticket item that you MUST have to tweak a miniscule amount more out of what you already have, and what you need to sell off(children, wife, dog,car) to pay for it. Of course you really are serious if you relate to all the responses in this post and don't find them humours, just statements of fact!!!!!!!!!!!! :) |

You’re not a serious audiophile if you aren’t curious how much better things would sound using Synergistic fuses; have even less curiosity about the differences between Red vs Black fuse versions; and have absolutely no interest whatsoever finding out which fuse direction would sound best in your system. You’re not a serious audiophile if you find Spotify good enough and the sound quality "advantage" of Tidal inadequate reason to spend 2x more per month. (The larger principle at work in the above)...you are not a serious audiophile if you refuse to spend 10x more to chase an incremental "1%" in sonic improvement. |
Unless you lied to your wife about exactly how much that cable cost Unless you finished work early to get back home to either hide the box or put the component in your system and put the box in the loft because you know if you keep the box you will get more for it when you come to sell it all before the wife gets home. I agree absolutely with the above comment When advertising second hand gear you describe it from child, smoke and pet free house |
You are an "audiophile" if you have over $100,000 worth of equipment and less than 50 pieces of music to play on the system. And all 50 pieces of music are "audiophile" recordings. You are a "music lover" if you have a Fisher 500 receiver, an old turntable, a mid-priced Grado cartridge and 5000 LP's on the shelves. You are an "audiophile" if the only female vocals you own are by Patricia Barbara, Dinah Krall and Nora Jones. You are a "music lover" if among those 5000 LP's on the shelves one can find female vocals by Sarah Vaughn, Nancy Wilson, Chris Connor, Doris Day and Jo Stafford. You are an "audiophile" if most of your music collection is drenched in artificial digital reverb. You are a "music lover" if you are familiar with the magic that is contained way down there in the grooves of a great mono record. |
