| Are these fake? Hospital grade plugs are noted for their tight grip so that someone cannot so easily accidentally pull out the cable. Audiophile grade plugs, by contrast, and audiophile grade outlets are at least one paradigm ahead of hospital grade plugs and out... | |
| Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles? sokogear OPFred - there are plenty of audiophiles that are not music freaks - they should enjoy music at a minimum, but are on a never ending quest to get it to sound the best they can.
