ARE YOU A " TRUE EXPERT AUDIOPHILE " ( T E A ) ???


Dear friends: I questioned my self several times about with no sure answer in this " easy " question.

A priori almost all of us think we are and through the Agon threads ( and in other forums. ) we try to show " we are ". We try to share our experiences and " best " learning and at the same time through those thread  discussion we try to learn. Well not all, many of us posted/post to be the winner: the one with the right  and only explanations.

Through my audio life I learned that exist no single audiophile ( included proffesionals reviewers/"gurus". ) whom write the right audio " bible ", many of us have higher knowledge level on some audio topics and " almost "  all ignorants with other topics it does not matters what that " guru " can think.

IMHO the high-end audio experience is a day by day endless learning and we can learn not only from those " gurus " but from the " rookies " too.

Now, the main subject in the thread is to find out with certainty what means: T E A   level  and to start somewhere first I would like ,  along all of you,  try to find out the definition of an Audiophile.

So, the thread is totally open for all of us come to help on this T  E  A   quest.

So, for you: what's and AUDIOPHILE ?  main characteristics for ?

W E L C O M E D  !!!  your effort is appreciated. Btw, the thread is NOT and evaluation of each one of us but looking for answers and a learning exercise for all.

Regards and enjoy the music,
R.

Definition of an expert: someone who used to be a drip under pressure.

Another definition of an expert: someone in a suit fifty miles from home.
The true expert or genius is aware of his own capabilities even when the world doesn’t recognize or acknowledge them or is very late to the party. Examples include, Einstein, PT Barnum, Edgar Allen Poe, Higgs the guy who discovered the Higgs Boson, Tesla, Oppenheimer, Heisenberg, Sheldrake and Schroedinger.
