Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?
Very closet to perfect MillerCarbon:"Yes and that is the thing about audiophiles. Most people think it means likes to listen to music. But it can also mean likes to listen to digital."Just add one word. But it can also mean likes to listen to digi... 
What are the most used terms that say the least in the "High-End"?
Sweet sounding 
What is the order of importance of the parts of an analogue rig?
What about SUTs (set up transformers). Should that be a separate category for those with MC cartridges? 
How important is a Linear Power Supply Versus a Switcyed one?
Forgot to mention... it is exactly the same power supply as in his $3800 Little Loco model, so I do think it is a good deal, which is why I bought it.It takes up as much space as the main board, so yeah $350 is more than justifiable.It only has va...

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 ... 
How important is a Linear Power Supply Versus a Switcyed one?
Thank you all for your contributions. I did my science project and since it came with no instructions, I did speak with Ron Sutherland a couple times during the 90 minutes or so swapping the board and power bridge. Second time would probably take ...

Raul - calling something someone says is stupid is still a personal attack. Not sure what "his brain is not continuous" means, but certainly I sleep, so I guess that's not a personal attack. You are certainly encouraged to ADD to the discussion by... 
What is the order of importance of the parts of an analogue rig?
WOW. I wasn't thinking about that high a level of commitment. At my level, I was amazed at how much the sound improved with an upgraded arm (REGA RB 700 to RB 880). Then I moved the turntable from a P5 to a P8 and it was subtly better, but was not...

BobbyDid - How is a watch an analogy to rocket science? Talking about time moving continuously? Are you debating that point? At least a 5 year old child has curiosity and is open minded .... that's not a personal attack so I am responding to you. 
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?
I guess Raul doesn't think "stupid" is a personal attack. I won't respond to any more personal attack posts.I like discussions/arguments over bits & bytes versus continuous sound and I'll try one more analogy to see if you digital only guys ge... 
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?
MillerCarbon is the man.Agree just about 100%.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. Just about everyone who tracks ...

Porsche Club of America. I have driven a Cayenne Turbo and a Macan (they give out loaners when I get service done on my car).They are very nice and fun for what they are. I like them. I may get a Macan when my wife's lease is up, who knows? Many P... 
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?
Cayenne Turbos are nice and fast I am sure, and if that is the vehicle convenience you need and don't have the space or funds to have a true Porsche, enjoy and PCA will still let you join. However, an SUV is not a Porsche. It probably has some sha...

Robertdid - I asked to stop the personal attacks, but I guess you weren't listening. I agreed with the vast majority and vote Yes, which I think was your vote. Please confirm with one word and leave out the attack.A PERSONAL attack is one on one..... 
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?
There are too many personal attacks here. Yes' have it by a wide margin and in one of my previous posts I noted that I changed my original opinion and agree with the majority, although excluding the ones who wish they had a turntable or can't hear...
