What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile?

I had been pondering this question since I have been involved in audio. Not sure what audiophile means. I went to a few fellow audio gurus get together events and although I had fun and liked the company, I felt out of place. In fact of the opinions and passion people here on Audiogon have, I do not have such strong attachments. So what is your take.... are you an audiophile? If you are, how do you know?

it starts when you compare two systems or components and start talking about the differences, even just in your head

@gano....*G*  I try to avoid that form of 'sonic dissonance'...esp. between my ears.

There's a lot of it about....;)

I dunno, but I have been told I am more of an audiopile than an audiophile!
