What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile?

Sometimes, though having gone to bed, I can’t sleep for hours just thinking of the way I was moved by the music I just experienced for the last hour or 2 or 3. Didn’t think of the equipment just the joy.

Ninety-nine percent of the time, good audio gear makes the music you like sound better.  In turn, high fidelity is a wonderful facilitator of making your musical experience more enjoyable. Of making the music you like more deeply felt.

Must be I am an insomniophile....fell asleep and just dream in high fidelity

in theory, yes, but the owners of an awful lot of high end gear end up dissecting the sonics of the music, rather than enjoying it as an immersive experience

Several posters gave you the REAL MEANING of " Audiophile ". Once you all establish and understand this meaning, you will see, YOU ALL ARE....The End ! Enjoy ! MrD.
