You know you're an audiophile if--

You know you're an audiophile, when you save every month for your next upgrade...and think every night on which pieces of gear to buy.

You report off sick from work for the day because the system doesnt seem quite right and you need to dial in the soundstage.

I prefer the term "audiophiliac" to "audiophile" because it suggests a chronic condition.

Audiophiliac- unrealistic fear of Audio Equipment.
Audiophile- unrealistic lack of fear around smoking Audio
Equipment. Typically characterized by charred black carbon
covering Audiophiles face. "I like the smell of a smoked
Amplifier in the morning. It reminds me of......the last
scene in THE RIGHT STUFF"!
