@reubent exactly no one should tell the other they cant be. Audiophile Is public domain and not owned by any person or select elite group |
Love of audio and love of music are one and the same |
@n80 i paid less than 2600 for pair of EV patricians, less than 400 for a Yamaha 2200, JVC 7050, and Hafler combined and add 100$ for luxman c2. I will bet and guarantee all these will smoke anything 30k or even 100k plus and I didnt include my giant killer Sansui tube integrated which would smoke even any ss amp in bass quality and depth. All less than 4k |
I couldn’t care less about status a couple of you guys are alluding to. Its love for audio and music not how much you spend on your fav system. If you think 4k is expensive then your living in dreamworld.
4k is pennies compared to the cables and power conditioners you elitists spend. I refuse to call your types audiophiles because you disrespect the real audiophiles.
So lets see my other real cheap system Rogers ls35a 7bucks, Luxman 100u couple hundred bucks cambridge cd1 couple hundred bucks will blow away your analytical dry modern unmusical speakers in mids and musicality or i could use my custom made cabs with tannoy 8 inch in them gold tweeter. Best speaker bar none 360 degree 4d sound. I can continue with all kinds of scenarios i have and cheap. All my systems are connected with humble lampchord speaker cables and basic power chords
@n80 so tell us about your useless sonically 20k anaconda cables and powerchords that you have? |
@uberwaltz your off topic sunny |
Read the other Audiophiles comments they are bang on. 4k was just an example for what can get and dont have to pay 10 20 30 40 50gs to get great refined sound |
@rbstehno sorry your loss. Thats why certain audiophiles are paying over 20k just for the patricians. Guess they must be deaf |
Any Audiophile lover of audio can build their own system based on knowledge and actual auditioning and on a budget. |
Douglas what the hell does an accomplished audiofile mean? Are we now subclassifying the hobby?
Thats nonsense. Why dont you just call it a rich guy with too much money trying to impress others with equipment not music. Like a status symbol |
@douglas_schroeder a jvc rcm70 was considered high end in the 70s and even had a great phono section.
Bet you couldnt afford that back in the day.
You cant apply most automotive performance analogies to audio whatsoever. Totally irrelevant.
Douglas's Bugatti does not make music
Douglas's Ferrari does not play a beautiful soulful violin piece of la paloma that stirrs the emotions.
Elizabeth's porche twin turbo doesnt reproduce a beautiful coltrane piece with all the fine detail snare drum sax piano and intricacies do that excites the senses
Douglas's Ducati doesnt produce the deep bass of Bachs organ music like a Sansui tube amplifier does.
Automotive comparative examples to fine audio are bogus.
A humble Marantz 2230 with Goodmans golds sounds as amazing in detail and overall musicality as an overrated Jadis or Pass with wilson speakers.
On a side note not audio related
Doug if i had your money i would stil buy a lexus toyota honda or acura rather than overrated pompous bmw maserati porsche rolls mercedes bugatti ferrari. Why? Better made overrall vehicle similar performance and reliable. |
@jtcf pretty funny. Never knew mr bean was into audio |
The term audiophile belongs to everyone sorry to dissappoint the ones recently who think not
|
@han_n who says they arent? Show me where it says that? |
With all the auto analogies @n80 you should be selling used cheap scrapyard 70s cars instead of commenting on audio forums. Your comments are not taken seriously by anyone except the very few.
As long as someone has the audio sound mindset they can be an audiophile. Each person has their own level of audio maturity who are we to say they arent. Its only frigging audio not life threatening issues |
@han_n
The begiining of Your comment. Who says they cant be? |
@han_n thats not the true definition of being an audiophile. Thats your interpretation not shared by everyone.
Audio is sound philia from greek love of?
Some go to the extreme some are in the middle some less but doesnt make them lesser lover of audio |
@glupson good point. But not sure cheap cars would cover audio expenses |
@N80 i have multifaceted interests not just audio. Ive read about and owned lots of equipment and thousands of records cassettes and cds. Audio is a big passion of mine. |
@bignamehere right on good luck on him and all the others giving all these bogus analogies trying to change wikipedia or all the worlds dictionaries on the meaning of audiophile.
Speak for yourself @N80 im nowhere near rich like you and evil? Imperfect yes.. evil is a stretch. Your just saying that to make yourself feel better.
@ahofer dude get a life. Nowhere on this green earth does it say you need specialization and a university or college degree to be an Audiophile. You guys have brought this hobby to an absolute low in your mindset. Wow i cannot beleive what im actually hearing. This music and amplifier sucks |
We need to take back this beatiful word AUDIOPHILE away from the audio snobs, audio bullies, audio communists audio elitists and audio fascists audio aloofists and give it back to the true audio and music lovers rich modest or poor.
It rightly belongs to us music lovers |
Older vintage equipment even tho it sounds amazing is snubbed by the fake audiophiles as not high end enough or mediocre because it doesnt have 15-100k price tag on it and it isnt made by some no
name guy who works out his garage |
