Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?

sokogear,

"people who buy Porsches for prestige typically don’t even know what PCA is. But every one in PCA is not a Porschephile. Just like every Audiogoner is not an asidiophile.

While you are in the correct grammar mode, could you start sentences with a capital letter and correct "asidiophile"?

rauliruegas,

Excellent must read article.
I will repost it on another thread.

Thanks.

Sorry for the typo. I believe your quote of me was from the middle of a sentence. If not, that was also a typo.

Now I have to be a biologist. How about Audiology, Psychoacoustics (I think that's what it's called), and for that matter Neurology and Psychology.....come on guys, you're getting too technical. I guess my brain is continuous.

sokogear,

Typos happen. It was from the beginning of the sentence. It was just a reminder not to be mean to people. In particular, when they are much more proficient in your language than you are in theirs. Your English grammar is lacking, too, and nobody is picking on it.

YES to the question.LP's: it's great to have the tactile connection to the media... and awesome to know where a song is on a record.CD's: There's definitely a disconnection on these shiny little discs. Due to frequent moving and space, many years ago... I let go of my LP's.
I took my YBA CD II over to a friends. We compare the YBA and his TT on his ($50k -$70k) system. NO CLEAR WINNER. they were both absolutely amazing... just different.
