Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have??????

Dragunski, I just took the tape off the floor with the 1/2 inch markings!  Guilty as charged, though it was not quite 100 times :-)

You're not a serious audiophile if you don't suspect of a subtle change in the bass extension every time you see birds landing upon the power lines outside your window. 

migueca, you are absolutely correct, and I have also noticed turntable flutter when squirrels are running along the power lines !!!!!

You're not a serious audiophile unless your non-audiophile friends have not heard of the manufacturers of the various components in your system 

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.
