What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan?
Check out Norman Maslov's YouTube channel if you want to see a hardcore/die hard Beatles fan; he talks about lots of other music, too, but his big three are the Beatles, the Kinks, and the Byrds...   
We are being flooded by headphone ads
I have separate 2-channel and headphone systems, and have about the same amount invested in each. I enjoy them both immensely.   
One Thousand Dollars
This was released by Rhino in 2005 and has been out of print for ages. Village Revival Records is the one who is asking for $1000, but as others have indicated, it can likely be had for less, but it all depends on the condition, too. Sealed is wor... 
How rare is an audiophile
@samureyex - hah! That's a good one. I've got a killer audiophile system - 😁  
Anyone else feel like they are “transported” INTO the music

What was the craziest location that you made an audio purchase from?

Your audiophile chair
@mwatsme - Agreed, and I've got a Herman Miller one. I had a zero-gravity chair for a lot of years, but having something directly behind my head really messes up the sound and it's so much better now without any kind of headrest.   
Can the level of pleasure derived from music be measured?
I'm not a true audiophile because I don't have probes in my brain.   
Sharing SACDs
It might depend on whether the title is still in print. If it's not, there is no moral dilemma of any kind that I can see, and there aren't many SACD's coming out anymore or in print.   
How can you evaluate a system with highly processed music?
I don't know why you'd want to evaluate a system with music other than the kind that you like. Personally, I wouldn't care how music I don't listen to sounds on my system. I listen to rock and electronic, so how classical guitar sounds on my syste...
