From the Latin philus or the Greek philos, I thought an "audiophile" was someone who loved or had a strong affinity for the reproduction of sound through audio technology.
I do not see how this would require a devotion to or an acceptance of any particular school of thought, nor require association with anyone else who might consider themselves an "audiophile".
mrtennis, although often provocative, you are usually more precise in your replies.
In any case, I might suggest the condition is more of a symptom or an effect and less of a cause.
The underlying causes may include both blessings - the appreciate of music, intellectual curiosity - as well as curses - obsessive compulsive thinking, vanity, delusion and wasteful extravagence.
