Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?

Just like those driving a Porsche SUV can join PCA (digital audio fans can join Audiogon) but are certainly not Porschephiles unless they also own a coupe (Panamera owners I guess gets a pass here).

@mapman You got the suffer part right. Especially when tape deteriorates with time an vinyl degrades with each play. Not to mention tape heads and styli.
Expensive in dollars and convenience.

Funny responses.  The car analogy is apropo.  Would a real Porche fan settle for their SUV or be more likely to settle for a Miata?

@ uberwaltz Maybe you are referring to a different "door." I don't see them making it past security.

The sound of CDs starts off bad so it doesn’t have to deteriorate. 🤗 Even hearing deteriorates. You can’t win. So cut me some slack Jack!

No, they wouldn't no good sound if it bit them.   CD's and streaming are for when you're to tired or lazy to flip the LP.
