An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree?

The "troo" audioph*les are thrifty and always shop secondhand first! Of which there are an abundance of riches cast off from the gullible and neurotic!

No mind-altering substances were used for the DSOTM /JBL 640's trial! 

When I was selling my JBL 640's I gave my cousin a demonstration. We listened to PF's DSOTM on CD (I forget which version). Listening, I thought that this was the best sound I had heard from that venerable recording! I told my cousin so and said "sell the JBL 100's and buy the 640's." No go! My cousin remained non-plussed and left, content with returning to his venerable L100's! So is my cousin an audioph*le?

After I found a buyer and sold the JBL 640's I really missed them, thinking about that demonstration  using DSOTM (a recording that most will agree is a fine demo piece). So am I an audioph*le?

My cousin has the same system in use since the mid - 70's. Mac C28 and 2105 with JBL 100's. He is happy! But is he an audioph*le? I did get him a Stereophile subscription!

And I gave him a subscription to TAS for a year. But I didn't renew it because I felt that Stereophile was instead a better value for the average listener!
